Exim is rejecting mail from whitelisted domains.

-----------
accept sender_domains = /etc/exim/whitelist.domains

drop
log_message = match recipients_drop.list.
recipients = /etc/exim/recipients_drop.list
------------

The rule listed above is suppose to reject all inbound mail to
recipients in the /etc/exim/recipients_drop.list file EXCEPT for those
coming from senders in the /etc/exim/whitelist.domains.

Unfortunately, senders from domains in the /etc/exim/
whitelist.domains are also being rejected. How do I fix this?

Thanks.

You essentially have two rules there so you need to join them like
this I would imagine:

drop
log_message = match recipients_drop.list
recipients = /etc/exim/recipients_drop.list
!sender_domains = /etc/exim/whitelist.domains

Which basiclly reads -- Drop all messages where recipients are in the
list /etc/exim/recipients_drop.list and where senders are not in the
domain list /etc/exim/whitelist.domains and log a message when you do.

Thanks a bundle! I'll give this a try later this week.
