Hi Odhiambo,

Yes, you are right about putting your Blacklisted Senders check in acl_check_rcpt since it is run after the "rcpt from:" smtp command when the senders address is transmitted.

As far as putting something like this in the web UI, that would be fine if somebody will volunteer to write that module.� I just don't have the time to do it myself.

Hi Gordon,

I think it's better done at acl_check_rcpt thus:

# Blacklisted Senders

deny � message � � � = Users have complained that you send unsolicited mail.\n\You're therefore blacklisted.\n\
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Please contact abuse@crownkenya.com
� � � � � � senders � � � = ${if exists {/etc/exim/blacklisted_senders}{/etc/exim/blacklisted_senders}{}}

However, it would have been better of the domain admin could maintain this list via the web UI.

Hi Odhiambo,

For Exim4U's exim.conf,� it should go in acl_check_content which runs immedately after the smtp session's data submission.� We've got facilities for blacklisting IP addresses and I don't see a problem with adding blacklisting for sender addresses and domains.� Here is another example:

Let me know if you have specific ideas on how you think this should be implemented.

Thanks,

Right now I am using system filter to deal with some bad senders and sender_domains, but I am wondering if we can have such functionality included in the main exim.conf with the option of adding the sender addresses and sender domains in files in /etc/exim/some-files.
I love keeping my exim.conf as close to the one in the distro as possible, but for some reason I don't see the most appropriate place in exim.conf to insert the rules, such as:


deny � message � � � = Users have complained that you send unsolicited mail.\n\You're therefore blacklisted.\n\
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Please contact abuse@crownkenya.com

Thanks guys and have a great week.
