No, it would not. That would only catch messages submitted via TCP/IP to 127.0.0.1. Processes on the Exim box can submit messages without using TCP/IP at all. For example: exim -bm exim -bs exim -bS > I'd be interested in seeing the "official" answer to this too. It's given in the manual reference that the OP quoted. A message has an empty associated $sender_host_address (which is what this is testing) if it was submitted by a process on the local host without using TCP/IP. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
