I have just declared a few macros on the exim4.conf.localmacros, so basically I'm using the default configuration created by exim4-config. I've been trying to understand the acl_check_rcpt acl, specifically the part that should be "guarding against incoming rogue local parts"


Run "exim -bP config >my_resolved_config"

(it might be called exim4 rather than exim on your machine, despite
exim version 3 having gone out of date twenty years ago...)

This gives a file of the configuration with all the .ifdefs resolved,
which would probably be earier to read than what I've seen of
the Debian auto-generated one.
