[SA-exim] Whitelist - When sa-exim takes action?

[Jonathan GF]

Hi,

i have a working implementation of exim4 and sa-exim but i feel i'm unable
to whitelist. Don't know why. I think the clue is the moment where i have to
whitelist but i can't get it.

In my ACL RCPT i have this lines at the top:

accept hosts = :

accept domains = +local_domains
senders =
lsearch;/etc/exim4/list_whitelist.txt:*@lsearch;/etc/exim4/list_whitelist.txt

deny message = Connection denied for $sender_host_address -
Blacklisted host.
hosts = net-iplsearch;/etc/exim4/list_bl-iphost.txt

warn message = X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: Yes
local_parts = postmaster:abuse

warn message = X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: Yes
senders = +whitelist_senders

[...]

but the email addresses or domains in the files above and in the addreslist
named "whitelist_senders" seems not to be read or no action is being taken.

Can anybody point me in the good direction?

Thanks in advance. Regards,

Jonathan GF

You debug those things with
exim4 -d+acl -bd -oX 26
send your mail to post 26 (or 25 on an unused server), and look at what exim
does

If you're whitelisted, it'll skip the RCPT ACL, it won't skip SA-Exim, just
to make sure we agree.

SA-Exim should save the mails somewhere, or they should be accepted anyway.
Look if the X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: header is there.
If not, look with the exim4 command above, what happens and how the rcpt to
is parsed but not found in +whitelist_senders
