exim acl_not_smtp ignored for local submissions

  • 772

In the default exim4 install on Debian with split configuration files I have created a custom file at /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/33_conf with the following content:

acl_not_smtp:
  defer log_message = testing defer or deny

Then I am testin the setup with the date|mail -s test [email protected] command on the exim box and the email gets sent no problem.

Why the email isn't deferred or denied?

  1. The missing configuration part is the line:

    acl_not_smtp = acl_not_smtp

    placed just before

    begin acl

    which happens to be in some other file of the default install, namely /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/00_exim4-config_header

    Apparently, placing it in the same file as the ACL definition itself, /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/33_conf, that is after begin acl, is not allowed
