You need to replace /config/filenew with the path to the new exim.conf file you're installing, to test it for syntax, before you install it.That # exim -C /config/filenew -bV line, I ran to check, as was advised by your SpamBlocker txt file.
# exim -C /home/admin/exim.conf -bV
cp /home/admin/exim.conf /etc/exim.conf
# whereis exim.conf
exim: /usr/sbin/exim /etc/exim.conf /etc/exim.cert /etc/exim.key /etc/exim.pl /usr/share/man/man8/exim.8.gz
[root@da ~]# exim -C /etc/exim.conf -bV

What help/instruction files ?Perhaps it would be handy to enrichen the SpamBlocker help/instruct files with this info
I will, and I'll respond.Could you also look into my post #21 please ?
First of all, let me say that catchall email just doesn't work anymore on today's Internet; just too many spammers sending too much spam to nonexistent address; too many so-called dictionary attacks against domains. Getting rid of catchall accounts will probably lower the mail traffic on your server to less than 10% of what it is now. Really.SpamBlocker doesn't seem to check emails that go to a Catch-All E-Mail.
SpamBlocker works based on sender reputation; it checks servers to see if they're in any of several blocklists. It doesn't even consider the recipient...Is this correct ?

why would an email with the word "viagra" get through SpamBlocker
SpamBlocker works based on sender reputation; it checks servers to see if they're in any of several blocklists.
and we hosters should add that spam (ip/sender/host/w/e) to the blocklists
Because SpamBlocker doesn't care about content. Spam is NEVER about content; it's about consent.why would an email with the word "viagra" get through SpamBlocker..
