exim problem - rejecting senders
I have a rather peculiar problem with exim 3.12 on a potato
server.
I had a list of spammers' domains which I wanted to block.
As per the exim specs, I created a file, entered the IPs and
used the host_reject_recipients option. A few days after I did this,
mail from two people, whose IP is not on the list, was not
coming through.
Once I commented out the host_reject_recipients line, mail
from these two people got through.
A few days back, I used the host_reject line to block a single
domain. Once again, mail from the same two people would not
come through. After I commented out the line, the mail from
these two addresses came through.
It mystifies me. Has anyone on the list experienced anything
similar?
