Aihe: Re: [exim] Using local_host_blacklist
Wow Andreas Swaks is great. Running the following
swaks --to jane@??? --from sue@??? -pipe "exim -bh
64.142.111.80"
was very revealing and adds to my understanding.

Looking through the 150+ lines of output I see the many checks like
"host_reject_connection?" and ""helo_verify_hosts?" and "acl_check_rcpt"
etc.
BUT I do not see anything that I interpret as a local_host_blacklist check.
I do see the zen.spamhous.org check and spamcop.net check.

Is there suppose to be a "local_host_blacklist" check in the output?
I'm thinking that some config file is missing something.
