If you close the exim port, you'll not receive spam. But you'll not receive your legitimate mail either. I guess that's not what you want. There are techiniques to prevent spam, but none of them is 100% efective. Some spam will get through, no matter what. -- Eduardo M Kalinowski [email protected] -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
