| Is there any way I can discard mails via exim filter?
Yes. In the filter, use:
seen finish
without specifying where the message goes; this will discard it. You
may want to log things with 'logwrite', possibly setting a logfile.
Our filter does:
logfile /var/log/exim4/discardlog
if ....
then
logwrite ....
seen finish
endif
If this is run through a router you must set allow_filter. Our router
that uses this filter looks like this:
spam_discard:
domains = +local_domains
local_parts = FILTER_USERS
driver = redirect
file = /etc/exim4/exim-spam-filter
no_verify
allow_filter
allow_freeze
user = Debian-exim
(I think 'allow_freeze' is unnecessary and is a vestigial remnant of
something else.)
I believe that specifying the user is part of the magic that makes it
actually work. This may be your problem with the logfile write permissions.
