As part of my war on spam, I'm starting to filter by subject. Trouble is,
I'm doing it the simplistic way (I'm pretty new to exim), like this:
if $header_subject begins "e-Qualize your business" or
$header_subject
begins "Avoid Speeding Tickets" or
$header_subject begins "Proven
money-maker"
then
fail text "SPAM is not acceptable at this site.
And you're a scumball too."
finish
endif
I can see this getting out of hand pretty fast. I've managed to figure out
how to reject by host:
host_reject_recipients = "+warn_unknown:\
partial1-dbm;/etc/exim/host_reject_recipients"
(aside: strangely, this works on one of my mail servers, but not on another
with an identical version of exim)
I'm wondering if there's a way to do the subject filtering in the same (or
similar) manner, and if it will be better than the monolithic approach I'm
taking right now (intuition says yes, but....).
