Hi,

I wish to blacklist all the IP addresses from sending mail into the
Exim4 box. However, I do want one IP address to be allowed through.

I have read the docs and ran the commands:

echo * >>/etc/exim4/local_host_blacklist
echo ip.of.good.host >>/etc/exim4/local_host_whitelist
/etc/init.d/exim4 reload

However, when doing:
exim4 -bh ip.of.bad.host
I am allowed through and can successfully send an envelope.

It does seem to be reading the blacklist file, but I don't know
whether what is in there is correct?

I am fairly new to Exim, so sorry if I have gone wrong somewhere.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Problem was due to LFs at the end of the relevant entries. Sorry
about that.
