Onderwerp: [Exim] Server filling up with blacklisted emails
Hello!

I recently posted to the list regarding an issue with my server not
being able to place email in the courier user Maildir. This problem was
"resolved" by a friend of mine by altering the exim configure file. He
commented out an entry for "never_user = root" and the problem went
away. Since we don't know what this does or what we have done I suspect
that was not the correct solution to the problem.

Since that time I have found that the server is filling up with mail in
the /var/spool/exim/scan directory. Reviewing these messages they are
rejected because they were blacklisted. It is filling my drive up at
the rate of about 1G of data every 2-3 hours. It is able to fill my
entire drive within a number of days.

Thank you in advance for any information and thanks again to all the
wonderful people who spent time answering my questions earlier in the
week.
