[solved] MailScanner + Exim4 : Using local blacklists

Hi,

Exim4 + MailScanner on Debian Etch does a marvellous job of filtering mail,
and it *does* check /etc/exim4/local_sender_blacklist or whatever else is
configured there, so technically no need for extra rulesets within the
MailScanner configuration directory. At least for me.

It would appear I'm rather thick. Sorry all.

The *local* telnet-to-port-25 test I did confused me, as when I read the
message I'd submitted in Mutt, I saw the Return-path: of the domain that was
supposed to have been rejected, and became befuddled.

I'm guessing Exim accepted it ok as it was a local submission and it knows
that I haven't RTFM.

Once again, sorry all.

Regards,

Pete.
