OK, now that I've gotten exim up and running and I'm happy with it, it's
time to delve a little further into its capabilities...
Today I received 2 messages with the following headers...

To my "highly trained eye", it sure looked like spam to me (call me
paranoid, but when the reply-to, to, from and return-path headers are all
the same and there's an x-authentication-warning header, bells go off. In
this case, the body of the message didn't help their cause either :-).
How do I tell exim to reject and/or freeze similarly styled messages?
