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!
