    This is related to the following thread.

    Stop Incoming Email Except from External Spam Filter

    But when I add the below code to my exim configuration, it blocks sending emails from outlook as well. How can I allow sending by outlook or webmail, but receive email only from my spam filter IPs?

    accept hosts = :
    deny
    !hosts = @[] : net-iplsearch;/etc/trustedmailhosts
    message = This server does not handle mail directly

    Thanks Michael,

    I tried this as well. But the same issue, outlook clients also gets blocked. How can I restrict remote emails to be accepted only from my external spam filter + all emails sent by mail clients? maybe I should check the sending email domain?

    This would require a custom Exim configuration. I couldn't find any other examples other than the previously linked threads, but you may find the Exim user's mailing list helpful for this question:

    Thank you.
