There are two things of significance here: 1. You're using a Debian-derived system, which has a configuration system which many of the denizens of this list are unfamiliar. There is a specific list detailed in the docs on Debian-derived systems for support of Exim on those distros. 2. The reason the ratelimit DB file isn't being created is because the ratelimit stanza in the ACL you've defined isn't being used - for which, see (1). In a nutshell - in order to apply ACL ratelimits, you have to define a lookup/query/update at an appropriate place in the ACL flow (which mirrors the SMTP transaction). If you drop a file in which is included in the config *after* an explicit or implicit "accept" in that ACL, the ratelimit will never happen. I hope that helps, Graeme -- ## List details at https://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/
