All the ips listed is not any of my mail server user. I just wonder how come
other ip appear in my exim
log file. And I do suspect that those ips flood the queue and causes my
user's emails stucked and frozen. Am i right ?

Is there anything i can do to block those ip, or change my setting that only
local user can use the smtp things?

how to change the settings that trigger exim into queueing or not accepting
mail at certain loadaverages ?



Please help, thank you.
