Reject Invalid Emails (SPAM)




1. Login into SSH and su to root

2. pico /etc/exim.conf

3. Ctrl + W and type in: accept domains Notice the two spaces. Look for something like this below.

Section A:
accept domains = +local_domains
accept domains = +relay_domains
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
accept condition = ${perl{checkrelayhost}{$sender_host_address}}

Between

accept domains = +local_domains

and

accept domains = +relay_domains

add the following:

endpass
message = unknown user
verify = recipient

Make sure each line lines up. You might need to add two spaces before each line. The final section will look like this:

accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
message = unknown user
verify = recipient
accept domains = +relay_domains
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
accept condition = ${perl{checkrelayhost}{$sender_host_address}}

Scroll all the way to the bottom and click on Save.

That's it! Welcome to much smaller mail queues!
