As exim sucks in its functionality & overall performance, you should add some RBL's to the exim configuration, dont add to many as exim will puke on itself.

I'd also suggest plugging in mailscanner from configserver.

Thank you...

I have it set to discard and send notice to sender but that will come back to me at the default doesn't it?

I'm unfamiliar with the term "exim".. what is that please? Also how to I plug in mailscanner from configserver?

This stuff is really maddening.. I sort of feel like I'm being attacked.
