Hello all,
I wrote in before and got some great answers on how to make exim verify
things better before I accept emails.
It took me some time to understand what the callout was actually doing,
but it looks like it actually tries to send a message to the sender in
order to perform the check! What a great idea.. ;)
Anyway.. so I have this setup in my exim config for it to verify and
what I think it's doing is probably what it's not doing :)
require verify = sender/callout=use_sender,10s,defer_ok
message = unrouteable sender domain
What I think this says is to require the sender to be verified; and to
do that you can callout using the senders name, spend 10 seconds trying
to do this, and if you can't, it's ok to defer the message.
Yet I still get things like this in my mailq..

Also I don't quite understand this message from exim but it does make
sense..

Not quite sure how exim decided that, obviously it's spam (as tagged by
SA) but how did it make that decision?
Thanks in advance for everyones help.
