Finally got my DNSBL list set up correctly. I had enclosed it in single-quotes, like everything else in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, but /var/log/exim4/mainlog showed that it was parsing the quotes as part of the domain names; thus, only bl.spamcop.net was being consulted. Removed the quotes and restarted exim, and now all 3 blocklists are effective:

CHECK_RCPT_IP_DNSBLS=sbl.spamhaus.org:bl.spamcop.net:cbl.abuseat.org

I've been sticking to my jogging regimen pretty well. 15 minutes a day minimum, and 35 yesterday; didn't make it all the way to the border, not that I couldn't have, but don't want to punish my body any more than necessary to keep in shape. I skip some days when blisters, cuts, or other injuries make it uncomfortable, or when I just plain don't feel like it; luckily, those are few. I'm enjoying the sense of well-being that comes from good cardiovascular condition.

Also back into reading, as my LED lamps consume far less energy than the computer. I re-read The Exorcist for the first time in about 35 years, and am starting on Patriots by James Wesley Rawles. All the Christian silliness about church and praying detracts from the novel, but the survival info makes it worthwhile.
