RE: [Exim] Nice way to cut down on spam.

Hi
I have added this to my system filter

Do you see any problems with it?
It seems to work fine.


#By domain
if $sender_address matches "@domain1.com"
or $sender_address matches "@domain2.com"
then

logwrite "(Spam2) $tod_log $message_id \
$sender_address ($sender_host_name[$sender_host_address]) \
To: $recipients (recipients=$recipients_count) \
Subject=$header_subject Attachment=$1\n \
-----------------------------------------------------------------------"

  fail text "\n\t--------------------------------------------------------\n\
             \t----- CANNOT DELIVER ----\n\
             \tYour email address has been rejected \n\
             \tsince your domain name has been linked with person(s)\n\
             \tsending unsolicited commercial email.\n\
             \tPlease forward this mail to your access provider.\n\
             \t--------------------------------------------------------"

seen finish
endif

Maybe this is a FAQ (apologies if it is), but I'd like to have a simple
"sender_reject_file =" (or "sender_reject_db =" option in exim.conf.

Tried Suresh suggestion:

sender_reject = @@partial-lsearch*;/etc/eximextra/blocked.senders

prohibition_message = "${lookup{$prohibition_reason}lsearch
{/etc/eximextra/reject.messages}{${expand:$value}}}"


but it doesn't seem to work always.

Cheers,
