How to block (deny) email from ...

What is the easiest way to block all mails coming from a particular sender or domain. 
I'm receiving a lot of virus-containing messages from a particular person. The virusscanner intercepts them but it would be easier to just block this person.

Any ideas?

  • I had to edit exim.conf and exim.conf-default as follows:

    sender_reject_recipients = @@lsearch*;/etc/exim.blocksenders

    changed to

    sender_reject_recipients = /etc/exim.blocksenders

    BUT - it does not work reliably. Some blocked domains still get through.

  • Can someone please give an explanation on what 
    @@lsearch* in the line sender_reject_recipients = @@lsearch*;/etc/exim.blocksenders does?
    And how can I block mail coming into a specific user.
    How can you block mail sent into the system ie. "Make your #$$% larger"   [:O]  
    That would be very handy to know how to filter out message content.

    Thanks

    If you have enabled SMTP Relay, try adding the following RBLs(if you don't have them already):

    bl.spamcop.net
    dnsbl.njabl.org
    list.dsbl.org
    multihop.dsbl.org
    relays.ordb.org
    orbz.gst-group.co.uk
    orbs.dorkslayers.com
    relays.osirusoft.com
    sbl.spamhaus.org
    relays.visi.com
    dialups.mail-abuse.org
    relays.mail-abuse.org
    dev.null.dk
    dialups.relays.osirusoft.com
    dun.dnsrbl.net
    bl.reynolds.net.au
    dynablock.wirehub.net
    inputs.relays.osirusoft.com
    proxy.relays.osirusoft.com
    relays.dorkslayers.com
    socks.opm.blitzed.org
    socks.relays.osirusoft.com
    spammers.v6net.org
    spamsites.relays.osirusoft.com
    spamsources.fabel.dk
    unconfirmed.dsbl.org
    ztl.dorkslayers.com

    Some of these RBLs shares/updates database or have links to one another making the filtering more effective.

    I hope this helps.
