Subject: [exim] question about exim and spamassassin
dear sir

i managed to install exim with spamassassin and the main task is to drop message which get certain spam score..
and also i was managed to use in the exim configurarion...something called exim_access_list...which basically a net-lsearch line if the ip exists in that file it will be blocked from acl_smtp_connect in the exim.cf

now my idea is...instead of using spamd in earch messages...is there a way that do the following

that when a message detected as a spam it automatically update the ip address into the file exim_access_list, even through external perl script
so the next time i recieve spam from the same source it can be blocked from the connection time...and hence reduce the processing of the message???

thanks for fast reply

I agree, I use something very similar to this in my HELO section with no
problems at all using the deny clause.
