    Default How do I bar e-mail (SPAM) to certain domains

    One of our clients has hundreds of parked domains and these domains are attracting tons of SPAM, eating up expensive bandwidth. The client is happy that we block all e-mail to these domains.

    What should I do to NOT accept e-mail for these domains? I do not want to :fail: or :blackhole:. I rather want to stop the e-mail at its origin before it even gets onto the server.

    I have tried the following with one of the domains:
    * Removed it from /etc/localhosts. Mail still enteres the server and is bounced. Not good enough.
    * Changed the domain's zone MX entry to 127.0.0.1. Mail is rejected without entering the server. This is the desired result, but is it acceptable practice?

    Could I not set up something in /etc/exim.conf, e.g. some kind of "blacklist"?

    Thanks for your comments
