Child Safe Email?

I am looking for a way to make certain mailboxes whitelist only.

So for example, the Exim will only accept mail for a specific mailbox if "some" header matches.

The most obvious header for this would be the "From:" address which could be of course spoofed but it's still a good solution for kids.

For example, I have kids and I want to give them mail accounts on my mail server which only accept mail where the from address is on a whitelist for that mailbox or the from domain. If I can use wildcards and allow whole domains then this would allow for things like their school domain name to be whitelisted instead of having to allow each teachers email address etc.

I know many filtering issues have been discussed here but I did not see specifically what I am looking to do in the forums. I may have missed it though.

Thanks!
 
Can be done with custom changes to exim.conf. I haven't ever had a request to do it so I haven't researched the changes, but I know it's doable via a custom acl.
