Re: Re: smtp server, hammered to death?



btw i just remembered that ive reviced mails from different
mailer-deamons, that "DELIVERY FAILURE: user
something@somewhere-else-than-aol.com not listed in public Name &
Address Book"

Hmm while im at it. i might as well post my exim config for you guys to
read..

Suggestions, ideas, comments.. anything useful is very welcomed :)

Best Regards
