Or, as is very common, attempts to unsubscribe from a mailing list he DID subscribe to, by marking it as spam? And what about the sender whose address was forged in a reported message who routinely sends mail to a friend who is one of your users, and suddenly can't? Even AOL gives some slack for those cases before blacklisting a sender. As to how to do it, one approach would be based on the logfile and logwrite commands found in Section 3.15 of the Exim filter specification (number may differ, this is from the Exim 4.50 docs (the version I have handy on my desktop machine). After suitable lines are written, either a periodic process, or something tailing the "log" file being written if you want instant gratification, would adjust a database which Exim consults to find banned senders. Somewhere in the design you need to keep in mind that a message might come in Tuesday, and not be seen and reported until the following weekend. --John -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
