Pkg exim4 users - Aug 2008 - Wildcards/Regexps in /etc/exim4/local_host_blacklist

Hi there,

A quick Debian specific (?) question which I''ve been unable to answer
for myself.  Neither the README.Debian.gz, nor the exim4-config_files
man page make any mention of it.

  Can widcards/regexps be used in the /etc/exim4/local_host_blacklist
  file (or other such files)?

Regards,

Sebastian

Yes, they can. They are (part of) regular exim lists, either a "host
list" (e.g.  local_host_blacklist) or address list (e.g.
local_sender_blacklist)

wilcards in address lists:

wildcards in host lists:
