Hi if that's the spammer case, then will it cause some emails that cannot be received or sent ?
Because the problem that some emails can't be sent or received and even not displayed in the log file, at least
i can't find it in there.

And btw, what is the meaning of message frozen ?

2003-06-09 09:14:20 Message is frozen
2003-06-09 09:14:20 Message is frozen
2003-06-09 09:14:20 Message is frozen

a long list of it in the log file.

Thanks

Hi Cheong,

This means that Exim is doing it's job. Spammers are trying to relay spam
to others through you and Exim is denying them, just like it's supposed
to.
