I haven't looked that hard at the filter stuff added to exim, as I use
procmail, but can't the filter stuff handle this? Otherwise, it
wouldn't be that hard to make a simplified front end to procmail that
users could use to add domains to ignore and a standard boiler plate
bounce message.
Granted, in this case exim would have to accept the mail before this
processing could be done. Otherwise, when Phillip modifies the various
reject features to use file/dbm lookups maybe he could look at adding
extra processing to the sender_reject filter to key off the rcpt to as
well as the mail from parts for individualized reject lists. I could see
it being handy for a ISP's mail system.
