The block above is doing what I would expect it to .. if there is an invalid header then it causes a "deny" as dictated by the "require" - everything must be true or it rejects > There is no other 'verify = header_syntax' statement in the config-file. > > If I replace the above by > > deny > message = Found an invalid header > !verify = header_syntax > !sender_domains = example.com > > would it then selectively allow those mails through that come from > example.com and check the others for header syntax? Order may be important so I would reverse the last 2 lines. You could test it to see if mattered if you were keen. Your above ACL section will do what you want. For example.com it will skip the chunk (test to see if order is important), and for all other domains it will check headers. Heading on a tangent, an alternative might be to do something like warn verify = header_syntax set acl_m_header_syntax = valid The you can use acl_m_header_syntax as a flag later on for adding up spam points. -- The Exim Manual http://www.exim.org/docs.html http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/index.html -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
