Filters

[ccharlet]

Hi

I have implemented a filter to avoid receiving messages that are too bulky. My problem now is that the senders of these emails are not told that their messages have not been delivered.
Do you have a solution to this problem?

Filters filter email that has already been received. Once email is received your server is responsible. You don't really want to send it back to the from address because the from address is probably not where it came from if it's malicious or suspicious email.

The best thing to do is change the line beginning:

message-size_limit =

in /etc/exim.conf to any size you want (the SpamBlocker default is 20M).

Be sure to restart exim after you make the change.

Then exim will refuse to even accept the oversized email.
