Subject: [exim] Help, Please.
My mail server is being over run and it's causing some real issues. I'm
not really sure how to stop it, I'll be the first to admit that my
skills with Exim are about an intermediate level so any help with this
would be great.

Basically this is what I am getting in my log:

2007-07-26 11:57:45 lowest numbered MX record points to local host:
mymsviews.com (while verifying <odyl@???> from host
(mail.fcpp.org) [64.201.170.253])

It's basically the same thing over and over again just from a pile of
different hosts and IPs. Is there anything I can do to make this stop? I
can block IP's but there's just to much to keep up with.

I'm not sure what, if any, parts of the configuration file that people
might want to see so just ask and I'll provide it. I'm running a SuSE
9.x box with Exim 4.63 (yes, I know I need to upgrade to 4.67).

Thanks.
