I thought I might have understood what you were talking about, so I placed the "begin authentication" section above the "begin acl" section and it hasn't made a difference. I am running SpamAssassin with spamd, and clamav, do you think any one of those could be the culprit for re-writing the IP address? If something is re-writing the IP address, why is it still showing the internal lan IP address of the connecting computer? (192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.7 respectively) Here is my entire exim configuration, I have it posted up as well as comments on relevant areas. Any help at all in solving this is greatly appreciated! Thank you! [1]http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=684181 Tony Finch wrote:

If Computer A sends 4 messages (or a message with 4 recipients) and gets rate limited, Computer B, that is very far away, has a separate email account all together, and a different IP address, also gets rate limited! Computer B cannot send an email at all. Have you checked the "authenticated" condition before the "ratelimit" condition? If not, $authenticated_id won't be set, and the limit will apply to the whole MTA regardless of the client. I have tried with and without the $authenticated_id key. It doesn't seem to make a difference. 2008-04-04 23:55:28 H=localhost ([192.168.1.7]) [127.0.0.1] F=[2]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> temporarily rejected RCPT [3]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: This is very strange. Why are your client connections apparently coming from localhost? That would explain why removing the $authenticated_id lookup key (leaving the default $sender_host_address) doesn't change anything, because the client IP address has been rewritten before Exim gets to see it.
