Hi All,
Nah, does not seem to matter where I place these ratelimits
/etc/exim4/conf.d/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt
or
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
The messages still go through without any problems. Just to make sure
I am trying to send a mail from the local host to an remote email
address will these restrictions apply ? and also log in the
/var/log/exim4/mainlog ?
Regards
Ian
