Default exim4 access.db?

Hi all, does exim4 has an equivalent to sendmail's access.db? IE can
the following be implemented in exim4:

209.210.xxx OK
69.66.xxx RELAY
69.66.xxy RELAY
69.66.xyy RELAY
1 DISCARD
2 DISCARD
3 DISCARD
4 DISCARD
5 DISCARD
6 DISCARD
7 DISCARD
8 DISCARD
9 DISCARD
10 DISCARD

If not? does exim4 support TCP wrappers?

Thanks

I'll tell you what I have set, which was quite easy to do, and didn't
involve any editing of the main exim4 config file, except maybe to
alter the wording slightly of the rejection messages.

My mail server is Exim 4.5, running on Debian Sarge 3.1r2, using
'non-split config' (one monolithic config file).

In /etc/exim4/, I created the following files :

local_host_blacklist
local_host_whitelist
local_sender_blacklist
local_sender_whitelist


In 'local_host_blacklist' I have quite a few CIDR ranges, each on a
seperate line. Every time I want to add another, I just open up this
file, enter the range, and restart exim4. IIUC, emails originating
from these domains are rejected at RCPT time using this method.

I use 'local_sender_blacklist' to reject mail from specific
envelope-senders, which again, IIUC, are rejected at RCPT time.

I've added a few addresses to 'local_sender_whitelist' (even though
it's possible to whitelist addresses within a blacklist), and that's
about it.

Hope this helps a bit.

Regards,

Pete.
