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.
