Subject: Re: [Exim] blocking incoming addresses
hi there,

the problem is that the mail server this account is on only accepts email
from our MX machines, and its these that are getting the hit before they
pass it on to the "proper" mail server. So i want the emails rejected on
the MX machines so that a: they don't get overloaded, and b: don't pass the
bounces to the mail-server.
