Hello,
I've released version 4.5.12 of SpamBlocker (/etc/exim.conf)
It's a fix to address the / character being valid in an SRS sender-verification address.
Version 4.5.10 was changed to allow a receiving mailserver to call-back to this exim server to confirm the SRS sender.
Issue was that some SRS sender addresses sent by exim to the remote server could contain the / character.. so the callback verification from the remote box to exim would fail with the error: "550 Administrative Prohibition" error, which is nothing more than exim's internal default if no message is set. So I've also added a message to that particular check.. which, if it's ever hit, would throw "550 Invalid characters in local_part" instead, so it can more easily be found in the exim.conf.
Note: it's very unlikely this check is hit, as the only reason it was this time is due to SRS matching. Anything else would be a "550 No such recipient here" message.
