Hi. I'm hoping this is a simple question, apologies if it's too simple.
I did check documentation/wiki etc but haven't been able to make this
work. I'm not an advanced Linux/Exim user so again apologies if this is
a stupid question.

I want to be able to get our outbound exim server to check recipients
against a given list of recipients, and reject mail sent by our users to
these addresses. For what I've tried so far I've used this
(http://datadisk.co.uk/html_docs/exim/acl.htm) as reference.

Right at the bottom of acl_check_rcpt I have:

# attempt to block messages to single address
  deny
    message = Sorry, delivery forbidden (see networks)
    senders = *@bolton.ac.uk
    recipients = lsearch;/etc/blocklist





# At this point, the address has passed all the checks that have been
# configured, so we accept it unconditionally.

accept

And then /etc/blocklist has the email addresses I want to block (2 for
testing), 1 per line.

When I send to these addresses, they are delivered all as per normal,
nothing unusual logged in main, reject or panic.log.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
