SMTP Auth priority over RBL – atmail help centre

PROBLEM
I want to exclude users who are logged in via SMTP auth from being checked by blacklists.

ENVIRONMENT

On-Premise Server + WebMail Installations: Version 6.0 > Current Version

CAUSE
You may want to set SMTP Authenticated accounts as excluded in blacklists. To do so, please do the following:

RESOLUTION

Open and edit /usr/local/atmail/mailserver/configure.

Find this block:

#
deny message = Rejected message because $sender_host_address is in a black list at $dnslist_domain
hosts = !+relay_from_hosts
dnslists = zen.spamhaus.org:b.barracudacentral.org
#

Before this block, add:
```
accept authenticated = *
```

So that the Exim block looks like this:

accept authenticated = *

#
deny message = Rejected message because $sender_host_address is in a black list at $dnslist_domain
hosts = !+relay_from_hosts
dnslists = zen.spamhaus.org:b.barracudacentral.org
#

Save changes and restart Atmail.
```
% /etc/init.d/atmailserver restart
```
This will exclude all accounts set via SMTP Authentication.
