[Pkg-exim4-users] ACL runs twice

[Dermot Paikkos]

Hi,

exim4-daemon-light | exim4-daemon-heavy

I have a split config and have added 
WHITELIST_LOCAL_DENY_LOCAL_ACL_FILE =/etc/exim4/local-acl
to my local configuration file in /etc/exim4/conf.d/main.

The local-acl has the following acl in

  accept
    senders = ${if exists{/usr/local/mail/local_sender_whitelist}\
                   {/usr/local/mail/local_sender_whitelist}\
                   {}}


What I have noticed is that exim4 appears to be running this test 
twice on each incoming mail. This seems unnecessary. Is it by design? 
The output from exim4 -d+acl -bh is below. 

What's more I want addresses in this white list to be accepted 
without further tests. I am not sure how to do this. Should I put 
another accept after the one above to end further testing once it has 
returned a match?

Also is it recommended to use the WHITELIST_LOCAL_DENY_LOCAL_ACL_FILE 
marco? It seems to suggest it is.  And if so should I remove all the 
files in conf.d/acl/ and create a single acl file customised to my 
needs (SA-EXIM ...etc)?

Thanx.
Dp.
