Couple of things which I do slightly differently (and I think better :-)
1) Put the director that sends mail with the real- prefix before the spam
check director - this allows false positives to reply to you if they wish,
and therefore ...
2) .. my filter file bounces back a message thusly
========================== exim filter
# Exim Filter
if first_delivery and
$h_X-Spam-Flag: contains "YES"
then
logfile /var/log/exim/spamlog
logwrite "$tod_log From: $h_From: Subject: $h_Subject: \n
\t X-Spam-Status: $h_X-Spam-Status: Sender: $sender_address"
if $h_From: is not ""
then
mail to $h_From: subject "Re: Your last message to me"
expand file /etc/exim/spam-reply.txt
once /var/log/exim/spamcount
once_repeat 5d
endif
seen finish
endif
================== spam-reply.txt
Your mail with Subject: $h_Subject:
to domain chandlerfamily.org.uk appears to be unsolicited spam.
If you intended to contact a person at that email domain for
legitimate reasons then our apologies. Please would you resend to the
same address but add the prefix "real-" (without the quotes) to the
e-mail address and it will bypass the spam filter.
Thank you
