I'm kind of new at this too, but I think you need to wildlsearch or nwildlsearch. See section 9.3 of the online manual:

Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] cc: (bcc: Dan Mitton/YD/RWDOE) Subject: [exim] Reject on helo LSN: Not Relevant User Filed as: Not a Record I am trying to reject a delivery based on the sender's helo name. I get many concurrent connections where the helo consistently has the same format (displaying a domain name for instance). So, I am guessing these are mass mailing systems that don't bother altering the helo. I have smtp_accept_max_per_host = 5 to limit connections from the same IP and still they insist by getting a different IP and using up their five connections. Can`t see how this can be anything other than spam. I could restrict the IP at acl connect but want to be less strict in this case, so I set up a deny at acl helo as follows: # deny message = Your email has been rejected probably because your domain has been sending spam. # log_message = HELO in reject_helo list # condition = ${lookup {$sender_helo_name} \ # lsearch{/etc/exim/reject_helo} \ # {yes}{no}} where /etc/exim/reject_helo contains, one per line: *baddomain1.com *baddomain2.com, etc. however, when I run a mock smtp connection with, for instance exim - bh 192.168.11.22 and do EHLO baddomain1.com, I get >>> deny: condition test failed >>> processing "deny" >>> check condition = ${lookup {$sender_helo_name} lsearch{/etc/exim/ reject_helo} {yes}{no}} >>> = no >>> deny: condition test failed Is the condition set up properly, or am I approaching the issue in a wrong way?
