Hi Crystal,

accept from any to any.

Sorry, but I do not think that is true (as I understand now).

I previously had:

    match from any action "my-test-mda"

I now understand that this test behaves identically to

    match from any for local action "my-test-mda"

Upon RCPT TO, this test was executed, and it failed on the "from local"
test, as shown in the trace:

    Lookup: match "84.86.60.125" as netaddr in table static:<anyhost> ->
true
    lookup: match "wherewithal.nl" as domain in table static:<localnames>
-> false
    no rule matched

Only after I changed the match rule to ...

    match from any for any action "my-test-mda"

.. the match test passes; the trace shows:

    lookup: match "84.86.60.125" as netaddr in table static:<anyhost> ->
true
    lookup: match "wherewithal.nl" as domain in table
static:<anydestination> -> true
    rule #1 matched: match from any for any action my-test-mda

(But now I bump into the next problem.)

All that aside, it seems there is a bit of tension/frustration in our
communication. I do appreciate that you're trying to help, but we somehow
got off on the wrong foot. It happens, and for what it's worth, I apologize
if my tone rubs you the wrong way. Perhaps it's better if we leave it at
this.

Cheers, Sidney
