I am using Exim 4.72 on Debian 6.0.6. I have dumped the Debian
configuration scheme and composed my own exim4.conf file based on the

domains which works like this:
acl_smtp_mail = acl_check_mail
acl_check_mail:
deny message = Domain blacklisted locally
sender_domains = lsearch;/etc/exim4/senderdomains.blacklist
where the file senderdomains.blacklist contains a list of this format:
dirtyspammers.org
spamserver.lots-o-spam.net
dishitout.spammers.com
In this case, you don't want "lsearch;", you just want to specify the
file path itself, so that the matching is "one per line". lsearch is a
way, loosely speaking, of looking for "key: value" lines by key and
grabbing the value for use.
My question is how to do something similar with a list of IP addresses.
Would a similar structure be appropriate and where would it be put? Hope
this is not too easy.
It should be:
deny hosts = /etc/exim4/senderhosts.blacklist
And don't worry about "too easy". If people complain about "too easy",
I can cough at them and ask for people to help maintain the FAQ. :-D

Thank you for your assistance. Your hint about not needing "lsearch"
solved another problem which had been puzzling me for some time - why
the wildcards did not work inside the blacklist. They do now.
