Thanks, but I don't think I can do this, since I don't have write access to exim.conf. I guess that this means that wildcarding is impossible (for me). > *However*, you should really prefer only accepting specifically valid > addresses, rather than accepting everything and trying to block out the spam > attacks of the day. Agreed, in general. However, I have a large block of free addresses in this domain. My philosophy (then) was to sign up for mailing lists, logins, and so on, using a new unimportant addresses. I made up new addresses as needed, and didn't have to add them to the virtusertable, since all addresses were accepted. I just selectively disabled addresses in the virtusertable as they became unusable. I currently have about 50 active addresses which are in use. Unfortunately, this spammer has (unwittingly) outsmarted me by extracting message IDs from mailing lists, so I effectively now get random mails to my address block, which are all accepted. I guess I need to think about this again. Probably OT for this list, but I'd be interested to hear how others deal with creating and deleting large numbers of temporary and unimportant mail addresses.
