Hosted production domains have between 3 and 5 incoming MTAs (spanning 3
countries (UK is 1 country, not 4)) using different groups of multiple
DNS look-ups.

DWZ: No single point of failure.

Hetzelfde, the same

Users' safety and security is more important than receiving emails sent
from sloppily configured outgoing MTAs. Why should we downgrade our
security to compensate for poor standards by those that do not care or
whom lack basic technical awareness ?

       condition  = ${if match{${lc:$sender_host_name}}
{smarthost}{0}{1} }
#                   note {0}{1} = non-match
       !condition = ${if match{${lc:$sender_host_name}} {mailhost} }
       !hosts     = EXDIR/hosts.a13

Exceptions can be added to EXDIR/hosts.a13. The current contents are:-

mail.host100.co.uk
*.pndsl.co.uk
*.smarthost.com
*.yorhost.net



Every rejection message, for these 3 examples, includes an alternative
email address which bypasses these checks - thus genuine senders blocked
(very few, estimated at 0.001%) can still contact us. Genuine senders
know users' telephone numbers thus there are 2 alternative methods to
report problems to us.

A daily Logwatch with a customised Exim section alerts us to potential
problems in addition to highlighting significant events. An instant
email alert notifies us of mail refusals in other ACLs.
