while we are on the subject of frozen exim messages.
i do have quite a few of those. the reson beeing spam, to non exsistent
users on my domains, with (i assume) blank from addresses.
and/or users with trojans/virus that send spam on my network.
these i pick out as soon as i spot them, but they do get to send quite a
lot of mail before that.
the frozen message show up like this in mailq
21h 3.0K 1BKxYu-0000ja-00 <> *** frozen ***
1512@6683.savemoretaxmoney.com
are there a way to prevent these emails that create this bounce to ever
beeing accepted into my incoming exim ?
this is a dual exim with mailscanner setup.
