I have just started the following instructions on adding

i. Sender blacklist and remote mail server blacklist

I got all the way down to the following:

#!!# This ACL is used at the start of an incoming connection.
#!!# The tests are run in order until the connection is
#!!# either accepted or denied.acl_check_host:

##
# Reject email sent from mail server IP listed in the blacklist
##
deny message = Host $sender_host_address is blocked
hosts = /usr/local/cpanel/base/eximacl/rv_server_ip_blacklist
delay = 20s

accept

#!!# This ACL is used for the MAIL FROM: command in an
#!!# incoming SMTP transaction. The tests are run in order until the
#!!# sender address is either accepted or denied.
acl_check_sender:

##
# Reject email sent from sender listed in the blacklist
##
deny message = Sender $sender_address is blocked
senders = /usr/local/cpanel/base/eximacl/rv_sender_address_blacklist
delay = 20s

accept

I then saved it. It keeps saying I have a configuration error

2004-11-25 23:32:36 Exim configuration error in line 246 of /etc/exim.conf.buildtest:
missing ACL name


I have tired to do everything from copy and paste to type it all in and still nothign works. I have also taken out the first steps to the Sender blacklist and remote mail server blacklist and i also created all the files.

Does any one have any idea what is going on?

thanks in advance

You forgot to add

acl_smtp_connect = acl_check_host
acl_smtp_mail = acl_check_sender


at the bottom of the first box. Please check the document on our site again.

Sorry I already had that. It didn't work. A already had that.

acl_smtp_connect = acl_check_host
acl_smtp_mail = acl_check_sender

in the first box..

I found out why. When I copy and past the following line is appened.

#!!# The tests are run in order until the connection is
#!!# either accepted or denied.acl_check_host:

##

It should be as it is in the documentation.

#!!# The tests are run in order until the connection is
#!!# either accepted or denied.

acl_check_host:

##


But when copying and pasting from Windows into the WHM Advanced Conf for Exim it appeneds it to the same line.

Watch out for that guys

thanks

Thank you. I have updated my page to solve this problem.
