I know when the lsearch has looked up the reject-list file successfully or
not as I have modified Exim's config file to output different log messages
depending on what path was taken.
The following is part of the acl_smtp_rcpt ACL:
warn senders = :
set acl_m1 = yes
warn message = Invalid sender [$sender_address]
senders = [EMAIL PROTECTED] :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
set acl_m2 = yes
warn message = Unknown user!
recipients = lsearch;/etc/exim/reject-list
set acl_m3 = yes
set acl_m4 = $local_part
And the following is part of the acl_smtp_data ACL:
discard senders = :
message = A valid sender header is required for
bounces - discard!
!verify = header_sender
discard message = Unsolicited bounce detected from null sender
- discard!
condition = ${if def:acl_m1{1}{0}}
condition = ${if match
{$message_body}{$primary_hostname}{0}{1}}
discard message = From invalid user [$sender_address] -
discard!
condition = ${if def:acl_m2{1}{0}}
discard message = For unknown user [$acl_m4] - discard!
condition = ${if def:acl_m3{1}{0}}
As I said in my original post, lsearch of the reject-list file for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] only works if aperson is defined in the static.aliases
file as aperson: :blackhole:!
This behaviour is very strange.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks
