Hello list,
I have a simple drop in the /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt
file which should deliver mail to a list of users, dropping all other
messages.
drop
log_message = Not a member of recipients_allow.list
recipients = !lsearch;/etc/exim4/filters/recipients_allow.list
On testing the result it seems to work, sending from root@localhost to
me@???

LOG: H=localhost (arrrrrgh) [127.0.0.1] F=<root@localhost> rejected RCPT
me@???: Not a member of recipients_allow.list
The acl test comes back with a "drop: condition test succeeded", saying the
address me@??? is not in the recipients_allow.list and writes to the
log. If I run mail (echo "testing exim acl" | mail -v -s "test email"
me@???) the message is delivered, even if the recipient is not in
the allowed list. Any idea as to why the tests work but when I use the mail
command the message goes into the exim queue and is delivered? Any help is
appreciated!
