題目: Re: [Exim] Two questions

Was spam sent TO you, or was your box used as a relay? If it was sent to
you, its a far smaller problem, and a filter (an individual user filter
on your account) is just right. Instead of all those headers, just check
"$h_to $h_bcc" - you can check both of them in one go like that. bcc is
irrelevant, since if something is bcc'd to you it wont show up usually.
Also, add additional checks for the addresses of any maailing lists you
are subscribed to.

If you are being used as a relay, you need to look at the relay control
provisions in exim - Basically you want the following scenario:

1. If the mail is addressed (envelope recipient here - not headers) to a
valid address in a local domain (eg, _your_ domain(s)), then accept the
mail.

2. If the mail is not addressed to a local domain, but originates from
your own network (IP network - and this is the origination HOST, not the
senders email address, which is trivial to forge - you want to actually
control this based on the numeric IP address here - no domains)

3 Otherwise (a message originating from some random IP address, that is
addressed to any domain not local to you), REJECT.

Exim can do this easily.

Also, wildcard MX records are a real good way to encourage people to
forge a fake host in your domain as their sender address in spam, even
if it isnt relayed through your servers. Wildcard MX are a bad idea -
instead list specific MX records for the specific domains you want to
receive mail for, and no others. (And senders will then automatically
get "domain does not exist" errors if someone tries to send mail to any
that, well, dont exist - in fact, their email server may not even
accept the mail from them in the first place, keeping the problem
completely away from yours)
