Hello everybody.
New user of exim, I encounter a lot of problems trying to configure it.
Indeed, I first tried to set up a reject of some senders written in a file.
My problem is that the filtering only works when I use the exim -bh
command which runs a fake SMTP session.
When I try to send my email with the traditionnal unix mail fonction,
the email is successfully sent (or it shouldn't since I'm logged as a
blacklisted user).
Where am I wrong?
Best regards.
Johan Mereaux.

The unix mail command doesn't send the message via SMTP, so the SMTP
ACLs do not get called. You need to look at the acl_not_smtp ACL.
