For the record, I sent the following mail to the exim-users list. Indeed if someone got clues, he's welcome. :P
I found several typos in the mail, my usual habbit of typing way to fast and then forgetting some words or to add words (I'd like to keep do -> I'd like to do ...), be benevolent. ---------- Message transmis ---------- Subject: spammers IP ban Date: Vendredi 24 Février 2006 17:29 Hello, I'm of the admins of Gna! (http://gna.org), a software development platform sponsored by the FSF France. We have an antispam policy composed of DSNBL checks at SMTP time and spamassassin checks afterwards (tagging mails sent to users, redirecting spams to a dedicated "spam list" mails sent to mailing-lists, deleting such mails getting score higher to 13). I'd like to keep do IP bans for boxes that send us spam. For instance, to do such ban if we are in case of "deny" at SMTP time due to DNSBL or in a case of a mail that got a spamassassin score higher than 13. This would be a short ban, for say one hour, just to make ineffective the spammer/virus that would have to find another @domain to spam at least for the next hour, without costing too much in case a legitate user was affected by this ban Exim is using through xinetd, so xinetd could do the filtering by itself, provided we give to him appropriate IPs (drawback: it requires to restart xinetd each time we would like to update the list to get no_access taken into account; unless we somehow find a way to use the sensors mechanism for this purpose). I've searched a bit on the internet, indeed in the Exim FAQ, but found nothing helpful to me. Did I miss something? If not, any suggestions?
