OK. Thanks.
And what's your opinion about to use sudo to enable exim to use iptables?
TIA.
Best regards.

Not directly. It would be too close to being a security hole for an MTA
to provide that sort of facility.
You might want to do something like writing a database entry from exim,
and having a single-purpose daemon polling that DB and constructing
your firewall rules. The additional advantage there is that you can
restore the firewall state on a reboot, and implement policy to
timeout entries.
