You could take the from and to address combination and put them in a database. The next time the same details are presented, outright reject them with a rude message. Any emails from freemail providers I fakedefer the message the first time and if the message fails a number of tests, reject it outright on the next attempt. I've never seen multiple attempts to send the same rejected message though. -- The Exim Manual http://www.exim.org/docs.html http://docs.exim.org/current/ -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
