Sorry - I was up late last night. I'm using it in and acl subroutine.

So the outer acl is:

accept acl = acl_sub

acl_sub:

# This works:

defer log_message = REJECTED - Spammer Connected to FAKE highest MX
record VIRUS Brown - I=$interface_address
dnslists = hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.4
set acl_m7 = ${run{/etc/exim/sql/ip-report virus $sender_host_address}}

# This does not.

drop log_message = REJECTED - Spammer Connected to FAKE highest MX
record VIRUS Brown - I=$interface_address
dnslists = hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.4
      set acl_m7 = ${run{/etc/exim/sql/ip-report virus 
$sender_host_address}}

When I use defer I get the log message but on drop I don't even though
the ip-report script does run. And - since I wrote that message late
last night if I change the log_message to logwrite then it does work. So
it appears as if log_message doesn't run under some conditions?
