           Summary: process $sender_helo_name in "senders"
           Product: Exim
           Version: N/A
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: ACLs
        AssignedTo: nigel@???
        ReportedBy: rmh@???
                CC: exim-dev@???



I think it'd make sense if "senders" ACL rule processed $sender_helo_name as a
valid match, at least when the message is a DSN and hence
$sender_address_domain is not usable.

As an example situation, I have a long blacklist in
/etc/exim4/local_sender_blacklist, containing domains of senders. A "deny
senders = /etc/exim4/local_sender_blacklist" blocks regular mail from any of
these domains but does NOT work for DSNs. For that I could use "hosts", but
that would have an unbearable cost in DNS resolutions.

If you like, I can send a patch to implement the proposed change.
