    Smile How to Control incoming SMTP mail

    Hello Everyone,

    We are in the process of migrating to a third party spam protection service for our customers. They are going to be the primary MX records for the domains on our server.

    How do I configure in WHM/Exim the ability to only accept incoming mail from certain hosts. Basically I don't want other servers than the ones I specify to be able to send mail to my CPANEL/WHM Servers.

    Thank you in advance.

    Dan

    Default

    SSH to your box, then create whitelist, blacklist and denyhostlist files on your server. Login to WHM >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Editor >> Advanced
    and insert directives in the first box to tell Exim using these files.
