Tárgy: [exim] Can Exim drop TCP connections instead of properly closing them?
Hello,

Is it possible for Exim to drop the TCP connection instead of properly
rejecting the message? I don't see any option like that in ACLs.

For some connections (like obvious attempt to send spam or probing for
open relays) I would like Exim to just drop the connection without ever
properly closing it, so that the client wastes memory waiting for the
time out.

I am not sure if this is even possible for a userspace process though.

Has anyone tried that? Are there patches for Exim / Linux kernel to
achieve that?
