Aihe: [exim] R: ACL deny senders
Hi Bill

Thanks a lot for your reply,

I've done one step more on a very long way

no problem for the tested part, it is ok,
I left the conditions only in acl_smtp_data as in rcpt not all content was available
(in acl_smtp_rcpt it worked the same and I imagine it helps reducing resources but logging all details let me know something more about)

the (my) big mistake was in the conditions to test,
I spent some (or many) hours looking around and, at the end, this is working.

I've still lot to learn and lot to do for our configuration
but your help drove me to the right way.

Thanks
Flaviano

No - not necessarily.

If you want to match on $header_from:, you will need to so specify.

Keep in mind that not all information is available 'early'.

File format will be 'perceived' differently by different lookup types.

I use MANY lookup types against ONE file, with a format of this sort:

wbh@???        # to block a specific address
*conducive.org            # to block an entire domain.tld
*tv                # to block an entire .tld


The first has no wildcards, obviously.

For the others, note the PRESENCE of a '*' wildcard and the ABSENCE of a
',' dot, and makes sure that does what you actually want for YOUR use,
as we are not doing quite the same thing with this file.

If you want to search WITHIN a string, a different method may be more
controllable:

Ex:
   # DATA_SCAN_01A1: IF message is from known spam-engine THEN deny
   #
    deny
      regex       = ^Received:: .*PowerMTA


Note here that there is specialized notation that tells the regex what
to look AT (the ^Received::) and where to initiate and cease looking for
a match - in this case - after ANY leading characters.

If you are looking for prefixes, something else is wanted.

Problem is primarily the expectation that $sender_address == $header_to

Add, whre you are testing:

logwrite = $sender_address $header-to

...and you'll see what Exim sees at that point in time.
