These are passed directly to the Exim command. -For example, to specify that the test is to be run with the sender address -\(lqhimself@there.example\(rq you can use: - - exim_checkaccess 10.9.8.7 A.User@a.domain.example \\ - \-f himself@there.example - -Note that these additional Exim command line items must be given after the -two mandatory arguments. - -.SH BUGS -This manual page needs a major re-work.
