Agreed. I intend to run a script like this on my "larger" exim that
only logs what it finds. That way, I would refine the
Received:-parser. And I'd only "bounce" messages that have been
positively identified.

But it would save my users and me from having to read the crap.

Personally, I average about 10 UCE per week on my personal account
(which is already heavily filtered by gmx) and 20 UCE per week on my
work account which is currently not even RBL-filtered. So, action is
not imperative but I'd like to take that as an exercise. There is
nothing you can't learn from.
It is really nice that I finally start understanding exim :-)
