Yep, that's what I ended up doing.
Can I ask about your ACL setup for spam and other junk? Are you doing
much different than this:
I'm using exim4-daemon-heavy and it's nice to reject the spam and
Windows attachments at acl_check_data time, but other checks that I
thought were going to make a big difference have not done much for
filtering bad mail.
For example, rbl checks on rfc-ignorant.org turn up too many false
positives. I need to white list a lot of domains for that to be useful.
I'm also use caller verification and call-out verification. I thought
that would catch more, but it seems that where the callout fails
Spamassassin is also catching the mail. And half or more of the spam seems
to use a valid sender address. So the callout may not be worth the
work.
My other dnslist entries seems to work well, although I'm not deny'ing at this
point. Although the ones I see are also often rejected because of
windows attachments anyway.
warn message = X-Warning: $sender_host_address is listed at $dnslist_domain
($dnslist_value: $dnslist_text)
log_message = $sender_host_address is listed at $dnslist_domain
($dnslist_value: $dnslist_text)
dnslists =
relays.ordb.org:relays.bl.kundenserver.de:relays.visi.com:sbl.spamhaus.org
Perhaps what would be more useful is to tune my spamassassing setup.
I'm using the default 2.6 installation with no changes to local.cf.
