Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-9
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I think that the condition "!acl = acl_local_deny_exceptions" should be
added to defer blocks because this verb causes mails to be rejected while most users
expect mails from a sender listed in /etc/exim4/sender_local_deny_exceptions to
be accepted (even if it causes a "temporary error")

Currently, defer verb is used in the "SPF check ACL" and causes messages for 
which SPF query can't be done (because of a misconfigured DNS for example) 
to be rejected and there is no means to make them be accepted.

  defer
    message = Temporary DNS error while checking SPF record.  Try again later.
    !acl = acl_local_deny_exceptions
    condition = ${if eq {$runrc}{5}{yes}{no}}

By the way, exim4-config_files is outdated and still mentions former filenames.
(exim4_local_sender_blacklist)

Thanks for reading and sorry for my crappy english
Regards,
Fabien André
