Base on this topic:

http://www.cpanelhelp.org/modules/news/art....php?storyid=43

I tried to do this.

Went inside WHM, Exim Configuration Editor, and Switch to Advance Mode.

I went to the ACL section with the 3 boxes. Went inside the middle box and change:

accept domains = +local_domains
accept domains = +relay_domains
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
accept condition = ${perl{checkrelayhost}{$sender_host_address}}

to:

accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
message = unknown user
verify = recipient
accept domains = +relay_domains
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
accept condition = ${perl{checkrelayhost}{$sender_host_address}}

I hit save.

I then went back to Exim configure advance mode to check to see if the changes I made was saved. This is what I found:

#!!# ACL that is used after the RCPT command
check_recipient:
# Exim 3 had no checking on -bs messages, so for compatibility
# we accept if the source is local SMTP (i.e. not over TCP/IP).
# We do this by testing for an empty sending host field.
accept hosts = :

# Accept bounces to lists even if callbacks or other checks would fail
warn message = X-WhitelistedRCPT-nohdrfromcallback: Yes
condition =
${if and {{match{$local_part}{(.*)-bounces+.*}}
{exists {/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/${lc:$1}/config.pck}}}
{yes}{no}}

accept condition =
${if and {{match{$local_part}{(.*)-bounces+.*}}
{exists {/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/${lc:$1}/config.pck}}}
{yes}{no}}

# Accept bounces to lists even if callbacks or other checks would fail
warn message = X-WhitelistedRCPT-nohdrfromcallback: Yes
condition = %0

The line I edited:

accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
message = unknown user
verify = recipient
accept domains = +relay_domains
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
accept condition = ${perl{checkrelayhost}{$sender_host_address}}

is missing completely. Now e-mail is no longer working. I don't know what happened I need to change it back to what it was before. Could someone tell me what they had in their ACL third box?
I need to add this back in:

accept domains = +local_domains
accept domains = +relay_domains
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
accept condition = ${perl{checkrelayhost}{$sender_host_address}}

I need to add this back in:

My first and third ACL boxes are empty. My 2nd ACL box has the following

note that I had made a previous change to get exim to reject mail to unknown addressees instead of putting it in the queue for days.

Did you install the 8.9 edge version?

We did and that happen to use.
We had to rollback to 8.8 stable and re-install the rpm 4.3.

Then we found extra charectors in the script. /etc/exim
