[wellylug] Calling all Exim gurus

Rob,

I no exim guru but I'd try using some whitespace between the domains, eg

deny  hosts = +local_domains
         domains = ebay.com : ebay.com.us : paypal.com

If that doesn't help I'd probably use the actual host name in place of 
+local_domains. How are you linking the acl to the acl_smtp_rcpt option?

I've always used postfix in preference to exim but that's probably 
because it's the first one I learned to use.
