    Hi

    What is the best method to instruct exim to reject all emails sent to yahoo domains?

    I have some forums on my server and lot of users have yahoo emails, so all notifications, PM emails and others are just staying on queue beeng rejected from yahoo.

    Also I want to reject all emails from yahoo if possible.

    TKS.

    Out of curiosity have you tried to fix the problem rather then just disabling the emails to them?

    Have you setup domain keys + spf + rdns ?

    You may bounce or blackhole (delete) messages in the queue which have yahoo recipients, by one of the two in cron running every minute:

    Code:
    exiqgrep -r yahoo -i | xargs -n 1 exim -Mg
    Code:
    exiqgrep -r yahoo -i | xargs -n 1 exim -Mrm
    You may also create a yahoo.com and park other yahoo.xxx on the server and set default email to bounce or blackhole to achieve the same.

    But a slightly better solution would be to hack the Exim configuration to achieve this (not sure how, never tried it before).
