Hello,

Our latest release of exim (4.34) uses Jeff Lasmans new exim.conf and we've included a new exim.pl. Together they should help fight spam in both directions. There is a new feature such that you just create (or edit) /etc/virtual/limit and enter the maximum number of emails you want any user to send daily. DA will check and enforce this limit.

I don't believe DA clears out the /etc/virtual/usage directory daily, so you'd need to setup a cron to do that (so the daily usage is reset back to zero and they can keep on sending mail)

Once you get that setup, just check /etc/virtual/usage for the largest file and the name of the file will be the user who is sending out the emails.

Note: it will catch emails sent with mail() in php, so long as the scripts are stored below the users home directory.

As of what day does/will newly purchased DA use 4.34?

I'm asking because I need to edit my announcement to advise people to not download it.

We still are not including it with our default release because it has files that need to be parsed/rotated during tallies. This is not implemented in DA yet, so once we add that, then it will be included. Probably next release.

Can we go ahead and install it on our own, then?

Or should we wait?

If we can download it now, where is it :) ?

Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

It's with the 4.34 release of exim. It's there, but with the "limit" file set to 0, it doesn't do anything yet :)

See the "updates" section of the forum.
