Re: [exim] Understanding deny / require

[Martijn Grendelman]

   require verify        = sender
           log_message   = DENY - Sender verification failed

but this line is written for all messages that pass through

Are you sure? log_message text is supposed to be written to the log only when an ACL verb denies access, or if all conditions of a warn statement are true (but since you put log_message after the condition, it won't be reached in that case; processing of a statement stops as soon as the outcome is known.)

In fact, I had

  logwrite =  DENY - Sender verification failed ($sender_address)

No, I am sorry, I mixed things up, because I was writing this message and changing my config at the same time. when I saw these messages in the log about sender addresses that actually passed sender verification (or should have, anyway). I changed it to log_message later.

Let me rephrase my question.

I would like to something like:

require   condition = ${...}
          logwrite  = Failure message



Is that possible? If yes, how?

Thanks,
Martijn.

but I want the log line to be written only when the ACL denies, so when the condition fails.
