Assumpte: [Exim] Postmaster Notify on Frozen Messages
How do I turn off this stupid Postmaster notification concerning frozen
messages... 3000 messages every hour telling the postmaster that bounces
are frozen is kind of ridiculous. I couldn't really care less that a
bounced message is in the queue frozen since the system deletes them
after 4 days anyway. The ones that are important (outbound e-mail that
isn't a bounce) now that's another story. But it still keeps notifying
postmaster@localhost 20 or 30 times an hour that the message is
frozen... You'd think once would be enough. Our mail server gets
bombed by spammers attempting to send mail to any valid address
regularly. (Is there any way for exim to detect this and automatically
stop accepting port 25 connections from the offending IP address either
permanently or for a limited time with a log reflecting the IP?)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

And regarding the previous responses I've gotten as to the utter
futility of trying to understand the exim docs... It helps to take into
account that they're not really documentation, but a specification.
Even if they still make stereo instructions read like a Dr. Seuss book.
