Where to place Exim ACL?

[unco]

Hi - I have incoming mail filtering with SpamExperts. When folks forward mail, the messages end up bouncing (but stay in the queue for a while first). I don't know why I let this bother me, but it does. I'm assuming I would place my ACL in /usr/local/cpanel/etc/exim/acls.

Here's what I have. If you see any errors, please tell me. : )

What I want to accomplish is to deny the messages from [email protected] from going back out.

deny domains = master.antispamcloud.com
condition = ${if eq{$local_part@$domain}{[email protected]}}
message = This message has been removed.

I tried to place it in the ACL_OUTGOING_SMTP_CHECKALL_BLOCK directory, and had errors.

Thanks!

Hey there! Yes, that is the correct directory path, but in general, we don't expect people to be manually editing those files.

Exim Configuration Manager | cPanel & WHM Documentation

Use the features in the Exim Configuration Manager interface to modify your Exim configuration.

docs.cpanel.net

Everything should be done through the WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager page under the "Advanced" tab as that will create the additional files as mentioned in the documentation link so cPanel/Exim don't overwrite your custom changes in the future.

Thank you! Do you see any issues with my ACL logic or syntax?

I don't, but I also don't claim to be an all-knowing Exim wizard, either.
