exim stop accept message when for unknown users

[dannygoh]

my mail queue is very long. i been dictionary attack by few of the domains.

all i want is do not accept any email that does not have a valid user, so no queue message for notify unknown users.

Which version of the exim.conf file do you have?

Do the top lines match the file found here?

That file, by default, doesn't accept messages for unknown users unless you've got catchall enabled, and if so, it will attempt to deliver such mail to the catchall address.

Here is my exim.conf

I haven't compared it line for line, but it appears to be the version of exim.conf which I wrote.

The version of exim.conf which I wrote does NOT accept email for nonexistent users.

You can try to manually send email for a nonexistent user through exim (instructions are in the exim book published by UITCambridge, and probably available on the 'net as well), and see what you get.

When I try, I get a refusal to accept the email because there's no such user.
