Perhaps The Doctor could expand on that. If he means that thousands of
spam were sent via his webmail program, then the normal condition is for
them to be accepted unconditionally as webmail users are assumed
legitimate, having had to log on.
If that is the case, then it is the webmail configuration that needs
looking at, and not Exim.

But that is normally safe (I certainly have it) as you assume anything
not sent by TCP/IP, i.e. originating from 127.0.0.1 is legitimate.
If it isn't, then again, trying to configure Exim to fix the problem
isn't, IMHO, the right way to go about it.
