Hi phillip !
Thank you for the email !
I'm taking a module at brookes university and it involved designing a small
proxy for exim to block or allow emails based on their domain ! frankly, i
have no idea where to start !
Is there any chance you could point me in the right direction ?
Any info you could give me would literally save my bacon !
Many thanks
-Dave
