 Not seeing an SPF failure in the logs ... quite yet.
 Let's test something that should fail ...
 Drats - test made it through, even though the config should'​a rejected it.
 Oh, let's also add berkeleylug.com to the email domains, so that should work.
 # DEBIAN_PRIORITY=medium dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
 # systemctl start exim4.service
 Let's try sending to postmaster@berkeleylug.com
 and yes, that got delivered fine.
 So ... why is SPF check not working?
 </​file>​
 <​file>​
 # systemctl stop exim4.service
 # ls -d /​usr/​*bin/​*exim*conf*
 /​usr/​sbin/​update-exim4.conf ​ /​usr/​sbin/​update-exim4.conf.template
 # update-exim4.conf
 # systemctl start exim4.service
 SPF check still not working.

 Wordpress email ... something to circle back on later.
 For now, for header it uses:
 From: WordPress <​wordpress@berkeleylug.com>​
 Looks like the only bit of that that's easy to change is the domain. ​ Looks like it uses php mail.  There are plugins to change that, but
 that's then more complications. ​ As for envelope, since it's using Apache, between that and exim, that ends up as:
 MAIL FROM:<​www-data@balug.org>​
 Again, not simple to change that.  More to circle back on for later.
 For now, dropped in aliases for www-data and wordpress, so at least attempts to those - and for now at least, won't bounce at those domains if
 attempted. ​ So, that should help deliverability (and, on the receiving side, probably some more spam for postmaster as I presently aliased those to
 postmaster ... "good enough"​ for now).
