[Pkg-exim4-users] local_sender_blacklist

[Iain Mac Donald]

I am wanting to use /etc/exim4/local_sender_blacklist to block some
persistent spammers but I'm not getting it to work.

I am using exim4-daemon-heavy 4.80-7+deb7u1 on Wheezy.

I have created the file /etc/exim4/local_sender_blacklist and for
testing I have created one record:
*@example.com

I update the configuration and restarted Exim:
update-exim4.conf
/etc/init.d/exim4 restart

I checked /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated and the
local_sender_blacklist section is listed.

Then on a completely different and unrelated server I use swaks to send
an email which goes to the first server:
swaks --to me at anotherdomain.com --from me at example.com

The email is sent and received. Any suggestions as to where I have gone
wrong?

Regards,
Iain.
