Subject: [Exim] Unwanted emails
I'm having a problem with some spam senders, I have the following in my config file which I use to
reject people listed in my reject.hosts.db (works if I test it myself and reject from a specific
domain)

sender_reject = "partial-dbm;/usr/local/exim/reject.hosts.db"
sender_reject_recipients = "partial-dbm;/usr/local/exim/reject.hosts.db"
sender_verify = true

However, some of the people listed are getting though.
Here is such a header :-

I have the following listed in my reject.host.db
americanbranding.network60.com
network60.com


One thing I did notice was that if I do an MX lookup on the domain, then there are no MX hosts
listed.
Is the sender_verify option not noticing this?
Am I specifying my reject.hosts incorrectly ?
Did I miss something else?
