RBL Checks to Reject Known Spammers

[lamp]

Hello,

I would like to configure exim to reject mail coming from known spammers; like the ones that appear in lists found at spamhaus.org (other lists would be good too).

Do you know of any tutorial on how to do this.

I know that I have to edit the exim configuration file: one of the 3 consecutive textboxes that start with 'begin acl'

Your help is appreciated.

You may add this under begin acl in /etc/exim.conf

# RBLS CHECKING ACL
deny message = Message rejected - $sender_fullhost is in an RBL, see $dnslist_text
!hosts = +relay_hosts
!authenticated = *
dnslists = bl.spamcop.net : sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
#RBL Bypass Local Domain List
!domains = +rbl_bypass

That will setup spamcop and spamhaus databases for RBL checking.

Bye!
