Thanks for your response. Actually i'm running Exim on Cygwin in windows. The mails are submitted locally to Exim.
Other point i forgot to say is that i need to allow mails to all other IDs of the domain example.com except [email protected]. But I hope the below entry would actually block sending mails to example.com. reject_user: driver = redirect domains = example.com allow_fail data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/path/to/above/file}} And can I just freez the mail instead of fail abc: :freez: On Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:50:48 +0530 wrote >Vaidya nathan wrote: > Hi > > I've exim version 4.69 running on WindowsXP. > Interesting, I had no idea there was a port to windows. > This is currently configured as a SMTP transfer agent for a specific > application.

Assuming that the email address you want to block is [email protected] If the email is being delivered to exim via SMTP and not submitted locally then placing the following in the rcpt acl section will block that address. deny domains = example.com local_parts = blah message = This address is blocked If its submitted locally, create a file and place the following line into it. blah: :fail: This address is blocked Then place the following router at the top of the routers section. reject_user: driver = redirect domains = example.com allow_fail data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/path/to/above/file}} HTH cya Andrew -- ## 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/
