Message-ID: Hi, i have a working implementation of exim4 and sa-exim but i feel i'm unable to whitelist. Don't know why. I think the clue is the moment where i have to whitelist but i can't get it. In my ACL RCPT i have this lines at the top: accept hosts = : accept domains = +local_domains senders = lsearch;/etc/exim4/list_whitelist.txt:*@lsearch;/etc/exim4/list_whitelist.txt deny message = Connection denied for $sender_host_address - Blacklisted host. hosts = net-iplsearch;/etc/exim4/list_bl-iphost.txt warn message = X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: Yes local_parts = postmaster:abuse warn message = X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: Yes senders = +whitelist_senders [...] but the email addresses or domains in the files above and in the addreslist named "whitelist_senders" seems not to be read or no action is being taken. Can anybody point me in the good direction? Thanks in advance. Regards, Jonathan GF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You debug those things with exim4 -d+acl -bd -oX 26 send your mail to post 26 (or 25 on an unused server), and look at what exim does > In my ACL RCPT i have this lines at the top: > > accept hosts = : > > accept domains = +local_domains > senders = > lsearch;/etc/exim4/list_whitelist.txt:*@lsearch;/etc/exim4/list_whitelist.txt If you're whitelisted, it'll skip the RCPT ACL, it won't skip SA-Exim, just to make sure we agree. > deny message = Connection denied for $sender_host_address - > Blacklisted host. > hosts = net-iplsearch;/etc/exim4/list_bl-iphost.txt > > warn message = X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: Yes > local_parts = postmaster:abuse > > warn message = X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: Yes > senders = +whitelist_senders > > [...] > > but the email addresses or domains in the files above and in the addreslist > named "whitelist_senders" seems not to be read or no action is being taken. SA-Exim should save the mails somewhere, or they should be accepted anyway. Look if the X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: header is there. If not, look with the exim4 command above, what happens and how the rcpt to is parsed but not found in +whitelist_senders Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

Message-ID: Hello All, I am looking to talk with people to help me figure out what sa-exim is as opposed to regular exim. It looks like things you can normally do in exim but sa-exim makes them 'easier'? or 'standard'? I guess I don't understand what sa-exim does as opposed to spamd_address (and appropriate rules) Thanks in advance for any thing that would help From marc at merlins.org Wed Mar 12 21:47:09 2008 From: marc at merlins.org (Marc MERLIN) Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:47:09 -0700 Subject: [SA-exim] Not trolling, can't figure out..

Are you comparing to exiscan? > I guess I don't understand what sa-exim does as opposed to > spamd_address (and appropriate rules) sa-exim, last I checked, does more on the spam side than exiscan, from 4 levels of accept/tempreject/permreject/teergrube, to adaptive filtering with built in greylisting (which I consider the killer feature of sa-exim, without which it would be not much better than some other solutions out there).
