-.SH NAME
-exim_checkaccess \- Check address acceptance from given IP
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B exim_checkaccess
-.I IP-address email@address [more Exim options]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B Exim's
-.I \-bh
-command line argument allows you to run a fake SMTP session with debugging
-output, in order to check what Exim is doing when it is applying policy
-controls to incoming SMTP mail.
-However, not everybody is sufficiently familiar with the SMTP protocol to
-be able to make full use of \-bh, and sometimes you just want to answer the
-question \(lqDoes this address have access?\(rq without bothering with any
-further details.
-
-The
-.B exim_checkaccess
-utility is a \(oqpackaged\(cq version of
-.I \-bh.
-It takes two arguments, an IP address and an email address:
-
- exim_checkaccess 10.9.8.7 A.User@a.domain.example
-
-The utility runs a call to
-.B Exim
-with the \-bh option, to test whether the given email address would be
-accepted in a RCPT command in a TCP/IP connection from the host with the
-given IP address.
-The output of the utility is either the word \(oqaccepted\(cq, or the SMTP error
-response, for example:
-
- Rejected:
- 550 Relay not permitted
-
-When running this test, the utility uses \(lq<>\(rq as the envelope sender
-address for the MAIL command, but you can change this by providing additional
-options. 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.

-This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff
-than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
-would be greatly appreciated.
