exim 4.84

Hi list! Is anyone sucessfully running exim4u with exim 4.84? I made an update to that exim version and had to find out that several transports were broken (around remove_header, failed to expand with some sql statements etc.). I made some customizations but it looks like a general compatibility problem - can anyone confirm? Kind regards, Valki

Dear List, Just recently seems to encounter this same issue, suddently i started having "rejected during MIME ACL checks: Blacklisted URL in message. (africell.gm) in. See http://lookup.uribl.com." in my log files but checking the site for the africell.gm domain reveal that it was not listed. I went to the exim_surbl.pl and disable the uri checking and yet to confirm it this solve the problem, but my question is this was working all the time why just the sudden change? i dont remember doing and configuration on update on my servers, i must admit my server process a lot of mails as i am an ISP but how cant i check that my queries are been rejected by uribl.com.
