Hello all, I am running exim as configured by cPanel 11 on my main email host. For some reason, I cannot get recipient callout to work on this host. I need to implement recipient verification because I have another exim system running vexim that is acting as a relay for my cPanel system. Right now, a bounce back is created by the relay system every time that the cPanel system rejects a spam to the relay system creating collateral spam. I think that I can mostly fix this simply by having the relay system verify recipient callouts on the cpanel system, however, I cannot get recipient callouts to work. I have added the following line to the exim.conf file for the acl_smtp_rcpt ACL:
require verify = recipient/callout=defer_ok However, a simple telnet session shows that the cpanel system is still not doing the recipient callout since it continues to accept mail for users that don't exist. I have recipient callouts working correctly on other exim systems (which are not running cpanel), so, I don't understand why this isn't working. Any help on debugging this would be greatly appreciated. BTW, exim -bV on the cPanel system reveals: Exim version 4.68 #1 built 02-Sep-2007 10:20:27 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2006 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (February 22, 2005) Support for: crypteq iconv() PAM Perl OpenSSL Content_Scanning Old_Demime Experimental_DomainKeys Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch dbm dbmnz Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir autoreply pipe smtp Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /etc/exim.conf Many thanks in advance!
