In your exim.conf add a line like this: host_reject_recipients = lsearch;/etc/mail/block/hosts I have added it in the main configuration settings part, just after the smtp_verify option. Basically, this is telling exim that the IPs to be blocked are in a file called hosts located in /etc/mail/block; the lsearch means it is a text file and a linear search has to be carried out to identify IPs which have to be blocked. (If you have a large number of IPs, it may be better to create a database; for that, refer to the exim documentation at www.exim.org) Then create this file (hosts) in /etc/block/mail (you can create it in any other location, change the path accordingly. I chose this because it was listed as the default). It works for me. YMMV. Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com
