.section "Testing ACLs" "SECID188"
The &%-bh%& command line option provides a way of testing your ACL
configuration locally by running a fake SMTP session with which you interact.
-The host &'relay-test.mail-abuse.org'& provides a service for checking your
-relaying configuration (see section &<<SECTcheralcon>>& for more details).

modified by any of the post-data ACLs (DATA, MIME and DKIM).
Headers may be modified by routers (subject to the above) and transports.
+.new
+All the usual ACLs are called; if one results in the message being
+rejected, all effort spent in delivery (including the costs on
+the ultimate destination) will be wasted.
+Note that in the case of data-time ACLs this includes the entire
+message body.
+.wen

Cutthrough delivery is not supported via transport-filters or when DKIM signing
of outgoing messages is done, because it sends data to the ultimate destination
before the entire message has been received from the source.
You can check the relay characteristics of your configuration in the same way
that you can test any ACL behaviour for an incoming SMTP connection, by using
the &%-bh%& option to run a fake SMTP session with which you interact.

-For specifically testing for unwanted relaying, the host
-&'relay-test.mail-abuse.org'& provides a useful service. If you telnet to this
-host from the host on which Exim is running, using the normal telnet port, you
-will see a normal telnet connection message and then quite a long delay. Be
-patient. The remote host is making an SMTP connection back to your host, and
-trying a number of common probes to test for open relay vulnerability. The
-results of the tests will eventually appear on your terminal.
