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.
