I am running a ubuntu server (I got convinced and there is not one day that I do not regret it!) which runs Exim. Deep within the split configuration's ACL files, I found this:

  # This hook allows you to hook in your own ACLs without having to             
  # modify this file. If you do it like we suggest, you'll end up with          
  # a small performance penalty since there is an additional file being         
  # accessed. This doesn't happen if you leave the macro unset.                 
  .ifdef CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_ACL_FILE                                              
  .include CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_ACL_FILE                                            
  .endif

A search CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_ACL_FILE yields many such stanza but no where does it tell you where to create the variable or what the file should look like. The latter should be obvious as it will just contain some more ACL commands. However, the former is a mystery… Anyone got an idea?

I did try to ask this on ask.ubuntu and as usual got nothing whatsoever…

Note that the following stanza works just fine in the conf.d/acl/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt file but modifying system files like that will lead to trouble the next time Ubuntu decides to update…

  deny
   condition = ${lookup{$local_part}nwildlsearch{/etc/exim4/black.list}{yes}{no}}
   logwrite = :main,reject: $sender_host_address - $local_part@$domain is only used by spammers
   message = User is black listed. Go away.

You need to add this ACL to the file /etc/exim4/include/check_rcpt_local_acl

It's work for me.
