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? Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com
