Hej, I have an IP address dbm file here, and want to look up the sending hosts IP address in that file. The exim specification says about the "hosts" ACL condition, that exim tries to match IP addresses first, and a DNS lookup is only done if a hostname is encountered in the list. http://exim.org/exim-html-4.60/doc/html/spec.html/ch39.html#SECTaclconditions
Now, that doesn't seem to be really true. I get this debug output from "exim -bh 12.10.26.10 -d+lookup": [...] check hosts = dbm;/etc/exim/spamblock.dbm sender host name required, to match against dbm;/etc/exim/spamblock.dbm [...] search_find: file="/etc/exim/spamblock.dbm" key="12-10-26-10.ptcnet.net" partial=-1 affix=NULL starflags=0 [...] internal_search_find: file="/etc/exim/spamblock.dbm" type=dbm key="12-10-26-10.ptcnet.net" So, exim doesn't even try to match the sending hosts IP address. Maybe the specification should be updated, or this is a bug. Tried with 4.50 and 4.62. lg, daniel -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
