Unfortunately, exim 4.61 has also broken Debian's default configuration, which relies heavily on constructions like | deny | message = Sender verification failed | !acl = acl_whitelist_local_deny | !verify = sender These configuration snippets are now flagged as incorrect with a dedicated error message: | error in ACL: ACL error: negation is not allowed with "acl" As this is not mentioned in the Changelog, may I ask for the reason? Debian uses a sub-ACL to exclude sender e-mail addresses and sender IP addresses from a number of ACL checks, and the notation of "!acl" has been a convenient and intuitive way of specifying this behavior. If it were my decision, I'd like to have that feature back. If that's not possible for some reason, how am I supposed to implement the whitelist now?
