This does not log info about blocked messages. I find that a lot of IP addresses in dynamic IP pools for dialups are listed in various RBL databases. It's sort of like a lottery if your ISP assigns you a dynamic IP. Some days no problem, and some days everything you send is blocked as spam. Surprise, surprise, one day when I checked what my spam filter was blocking, I found my lover's emails--not really something I want blocked. Another day my son's emails were spam. Personally, I prefer to dump spam into a folder that I can check periodically to see what got blocked that shouldn't have. > recipients_reject_except = [EMAIL PROTECTED] > rbl_log_rcpt_count > rbl_log_headers > always_bcc > > </exim.conf> -- Jerome
