O.k.

Exim 4.01: God bless you Philip, WHAT an improvement. "Improvement on
excellence? Is that possible?"

I get a lot of spam via the Netfilter (Linux kernel firewall and NAT)
mail group. No moderator, all the spam comes from Korea. As soon as
anyone mentions spam, everybody else tells him/her to shut up and
concentrate on what's technical in the mailing list. Not that that's
worth much, there aren't many people in the group who've heard of RTFM
("plz help me").

So I got Exim's acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt to work, with an
unmodified Sendmail spam database from Vortex.com (around 9,000 domain
and IP host addresses) and the Exim ACL lookup spam filter. The Vortex
spam database is updated daily.

Can't be bothered with the DUL or mail-abuse databases any more.

I never want mail from Korea anyway, so i did 'whois -h whois.apnic.net'
on all the first "Received: from"s and built up a second database. Cut
out about 1/2 of the available Korean IP blocks, but what the heck. As I
said ...

Cost me a tear or two (and much RTFMing and searching in the Exim mail
group missives), but it works. But only if all those people send me spam
directly. Not if the Netfilter people send me spam as the first
"Received: from" in the envelope body, though.

So now I need help in building rules for searching envelope bodies
(acl_smtp_data = check_message) for strings.

Example:

----------------------

Return-path: <netfilter-admin@???>
Envelope-to: tonni@???

----------------------------

"211.190.93.196" is what I want to filter on.

Anybody any ideas?

Best,

Tonni
