[exim] Backup-MX user lists

2007-01-08 Thread {exim-user}
Hi, I'm hosting email for a handful of 'virtual' domains. There is more than one MX for the domains:- the "final destination" which sits on my adsl line, and another "backup-MX" under my control permanently hosted elsewhere. The backup-MX currently uses recipient callout's to validate the loca

[exim] Help with multiple condition ACL needed

2006-12-19 Thread Exim User
Dear list, to my spam score ACL I added a second condition to get different thresholds per domain: deny message = This message seems to be spam. Spam score is $spam_score points. If you think this is an error, contact the recipient directly. spam = nobody:true condition = "${if and { \

I think, there's no need to split the list. I'm surely a exim newbie, exim gracefully handles most of the job without my help. >From my point of view, the newbie problem is another (it's the second time I joined the list to get help on specific topics- and I found help). The list suffers from a w

[exim] How to use fake reject?

2005-11-17 Thread exim user
Dear list, after searching the archives and faqs, my question keeps unanswered: What is the (best) way, to use the fake reject control? As my rcpt_acl starts with a lot of drops/denies (not without a reason), where should I implement the 'control=fakereject' to get all the unknown recipient's ma

I will change the config now according to Marc's hint. Getting a copy of the DSN is somehow a lazy attitude of mine. Instead of inspecting the headers of bouncing messages, I could have the reason for a bounce at first sight: Unknown user [EMAIL PROTECTED] Between any other stuff, that arrives at

Agh, many thanks for opening my eyes on that. I'm glad about exim's acls, so most of the spammers/virusbots were blocked before my machine spreaded dumb bounces. You're right, I have to retire these routers immediately. But then: How can I achieve my policy, to 1. Deliver unknown recipients m

Just the same here and a lot of them. My special problem: The faked addresses are non existant, and I get the following frozen messages from my own mailer-daemon for every single bounce: >Message IPU3LU-00078D-LK has been frozen (delivery error message). >The sender is <>. >The following address(

[exim] How to filter single quotes out of rcpt-headers?

2005-11-04 Thread Exim User
Dear list, using Exim 4.5.1 with a MySQL-backend, I ran into a problem when the recipients-header contained a single quote. Single quote garbles my SQL-syntax for the recipients mailaddress-lookup in the database. Exim replies to the sender: "Temporary local problem - please try later", while the
