I already stated in the original bug how I tested this.

I entered a single address of an account on another server.
By this, I mean that the address was an account on another
server, not localhost.

Then I restarted exim.

I did not explicitly detail the following step, so I'm sorry
that I assumed it was implied.

Then I logged onto that other server (a CentOS server on
another network) and tried to send mail to the address on my
Lenny server with the problem.  It went through and was not
blocked.

I also tried telnetting to the debian server port 25 from
the CentOS server and typing MAIL FROM, but it replied OK
for the address that I had put in local_sender_blacklist.

This used to work.  I did mix a little Squeeze in to get
Wordpress.  Did that screw it up?
