It seems like some of the spammers have changed tactics and are now sending messages with 98 or so bad RCPT addresses, which (happily) Exim detects. But now I’m getting a flood of messages in syslog, such as:
2023-05-28 00:24:39 REJECT [168.121.195.104]: bad recipient count high [9] 2023-05-28 00:24:39 H=([168.121.195.104]) [168.121.195.104] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Rejected for too many bad recipients …many lines deleted… 2023-05-28 00:24:39 REJECT [168.121.195.104]: bad recipient count high [98] 2023-05-28 00:24:39 H=([168.121.195.104]) [168.121.195.104] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Rejected for too many bad recipients I can easily change the configuration to make this happen silently, but I would like some visibility that this is happening, for example, in my daily logwatch output. Has anyone devised a way to cut down on the number of messages without eliminating them entirely? -Jim -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## [email protected] ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
