One host I have fetch a couple of outside mailboxes with fetchmail, and
feeds the emails to exim for local delivery. The problem is that those
would then be accepted, since the connecting host is localhost.
Anyone got a good idea for a scenario like that, where you do want to
scan anything coming from the outside or through fetchmail, but not
anything sent from machines on the local network?
