Subject: [Exim] Secondary MX and SPAM
I set up a secondary mx wondering if this could be used to set up stricter spam
filtering. Almost immediatly after adding the mx and reloading dns I started
getting mail to it. Almost all of it is being rejected. I inspected one that
passed and wonder about that one. Looks like the sender address failed but got
delivered any how?

From log:

[root@ns2 headers]# cat /var/log/exim/main.log |grep 1APsh9-0000rr-2B

# Deny unless the sender address can be verified.

  require verify        = sender
