} sender_reject_recipients contains a list of RFC822 addresses, specifying
} rejection if these occur in the "MAIL FROM" command in an SMTP session.
} It can be "mixed" in the sense that "domain" (rather than "local@domain")
} can occur, and is equivalent to "*@domain". All sorts of patterns and
} lookups can also be specified.
With 1.70 you can, of course, have the seriously sexy
sender_reject_recipients = "@@partial-dbm;/etc/exim/spam_block_regex.db"
where /etc/exim/spam_block_regex.db is a db file which looks like this:-
### Initially the macro like rules used elsewhere
## basic reject rules
_basic_rules_ spammer-name1:spammer-name2:etc...
## 8 digit usernames plus basic hate list
_basic_numeric_ ^\d{8}:>_basic_rules_
## default if not specififed
* >_basic_numeric_
## exclusions for defaults where some people use 8 digit addresses
*.ac.uk >_basic_rules_
## domains we don't like at all
*.savetrees.com *
## domains with specific extra exclusions
*.whatever.dm specific:>_basic_numeric_
[BTW this is a fake file I have just made up - but out rules follow that
pattern very closely.]
This neatly allows you to apply all sorts of patterns to incoming stuff.
Each entry in the list can be a username, a glob pattern or a real regular
expression. The >name syntax means that it goes onto entries for name.
[you can presumably write loops in this - which is likely to break things!]
I am just *so* impressed by this feature....!!!
