     That works!  Thanks Steve.

For those of you following along at home, Alan idea of testing with:

exim -bt -f niceperson@aol.com

doesn't work here because it bypasses the global settings and heads
directly for the routers,directors,and transports.  With exim -bh you
can test rbl lists, host_reject, helo_verify and all that other spam
reducing stuff.  

     Thanks again!
