i Definatley would need config assistance,
it took about a week to learn bsd exim sa and clam to get this working- initially and I had help from a very good firned and admin who pretty much gave me sample config and said replace your_domain name here-
is there a way to just have exim discard the bounce rather than backscatter it, - after all its all pretty much spam anyway- is this a good idea?
