Can you add feature to automatically delete and bounce emails sent from ip that is listed in spews (and that should be configurable per user)?
Delete and bounce? No. We block at the server, so there's never a message to delete.
And we don't bounce because spammers use forged headers so we'd probably bounce to an innocent third party. So no, we'd never do that.
As far as spews is concerned: I don't use them; however you can learn how to manipulate the exim.conf file, and do it yourself.
I use (very successfully, I might add):
sbl.spamhaus.org
relays.ordb.org
dnsbl.njabl.org
cbl.abuseat.org
and some (but not all) of the lists at sorbs.net
and also the rhsbl (right-hand-side blocklist at sorbs.net.
On a per-user basis? The free exim.conf file will not offer that as delivered by me.
I'll deliver it under as free a license as I can based on the exim license (I haen't checked that out yet). So anyone will be able to modify it for their own use, and possibly for distribution as well.
So you could make it work on per-user basis.
You'll be able to install the free exim.conf yourself, or pay me (or anyone else) to install it. It's likely that DA will eventually offer a control-panel based interface to my exim.conf file; they've already discussed that both with me and on these forums.
In addition I'll be offering a product (at a cost to be determined) and also several services that will offer much more functionality, including the ability to turn things on and off on a per-user basis. I'm not sure if will offer a choice of blocklists, though, since the reason for my system's effectiveness is that we change blocklists from time to time. (And no, I won't keep making changes to the free version, though I will update it if blocklists cease to exist.)
I never received a single valid email from ips blocked by them so i think this feature would be very useful to stop huge portion of spam that i receive.
You may have a good experience with SPEWS.
We'll never use them because of their stated escalation policy:
When they find a spammer they notify the ISP and block the IP#. If the IP# doesn't take action they block the entire /24 (the C-class), and if the ISP still doesn't take action they escalate the blocking to a /16. From time to time they block thousands of ISPs in a given data center or centers just because one ISP spams. We won't ever use them unless they change that policy, because we understand that unfairly blocks a lot of people who just happen to be misortunate enough to be thousands of IP#s away from a spammer.
And because our commercial service includes automatic whitelisting, and if we used them soon we'd have thousands to millions of email addresses in our whitelist system, which would make it a maintenance nightmare (currently after 15 months we have only three).
Of course you may do what you want with the file once it comes out.
If you add per-user or configurable blocklists you may have to make your own additions to the DA skin and write your own software to control those features.
