SpamBlocker-Powered exim.conf, Version 4

Are they mailing TO other users on your server, or relaying to users on other domains which are NOT on your server?

If the former, well then, there's no real way to block that except with blocklists and SpamAssassin, as your server is supposed to accept mail from everyone if it's destined for your server.

But if it's relaying to users on other servers, then it won't do that by default, unless you've added your user's hostname, IP#, or from address, to the whitelist.

Thanks...

but i dont understand one thing. When i try to send email from my home ip (MY.IP), server accepts MY.IP without authorization.
Code: 
telnet MY.SERVER 25
...
EHLO [B]MY.IP.USERS.ISP[/B]
250-MY.SERVER Hello MY.IP.USERS.ISP [[B]MY.IP[/B]]
250-SIZE 20971520
250-PIPELINING
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-STARTTLS
250 HELP
MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> SIZE=339
250 OK
RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
[B]250 Accepted[/B]

While other IPs are rejected with "550 authentication required". I didn't add MY.IP to any whitelist, but MY.IP is static and i use it 5-6 month
My whitelists are empty:

Code: 
 ls -lah /etc/virtual/*white*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mail mail 0 Jan 31 13:31 /etc/virtual/whitelist_domains
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mail mail 0 Jan 27 07:12 /etc/virtual/whitelist_from
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mail mail 0 Jan 31 13:31 /etc/virtual/whitelist_hosts
-rw-r--r-- 1 mail mail 0 Jan 31 13:31 /etc/virtual/whitelist_hosts_ip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mail mail 0 Jan 31 13:31 /etc/virtual/whitelist_senders

Where to find rule "Accept emails from MY.IP whithout authorization"?

The popb4smtp will allow your IP to send emails without prompting for a password.

Look in /etc/virtual/pophosts_user for your IP address.
 
I have another problem. After updating to SpamBlocker 4, many records began to appear in a file /var/log/exim/paniclog

Code: 
2011-02-01 10:55:25 failed to expand condition "${perl{check_limits}}" for lookuphost router: You (unknown) have reach your daily email limit of 300 emails

file /etc/virtual/usage/unknown have 301C.

And a lot of messages from valid subscrb.lists were droped (in /var/log/exim/rejectlog) with Sender verify failed

and mail from gmail doesn't reach. How to understand a problem?


AND Why exim blocks now mails for users in my server?


Code: 
 telnet ipr.od.ua 25
Trying 77.120.113.133...
Connected to ipr.od.ua.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server1.rega.com.ua ESMTP Exim 4.73 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:10:02 +0200

250 OK
RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
550-Verification failed for <[email protected]>
550-Unrouteable address
550 Sender verify failed


only
Code: 
echo 0 > /etc/virtual/limit
resolves the problem. :mad:

touch /etc/virtual/bad_sender_hosts_ip
touch /etc/virtual/blacklist_domains

cd /etc
rm exim.pl
wget http://www.nobaloney.net/downloads/spamblocker/DirectAdminSpamBlocker4/exim.pl
chmod 755 exim.pl
 
prolly yes, im not totally sure cause the best answer should arrive from jlasman but, i think is better if you use the one he provide with sb4 :)

Those instructions are not for SpamBlocker exim.conf file Version 4. Instructions for installing SpamBlocker exim.conf file Version 4, instructions can be found here (nobaloney.net); simply click on Click Here to Download, and read the ReadMe file. There's also a handy link to buy installation if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. Installation includes conversion to Dovecot if required.

No, better to use the one provided by DirectAdmin; I copy it from time to time as a convenience, but I'm not always up to date, so I'm probably going to remove it from my site and replace it with a link to the one provided at the DirectAdmin File Server.

Jeff
 
The one on my site (until I remove it anyway) will always work with SpamBlocker exim.conf Version 4, but it won't always work with newer features added by DirectAdmin staff, which often don't require updates to SpamBlocker files.

current latest official DirectAdmin exim.pl doesn't work with latest SB4 exim.conf!!!
it works only if limit=0!

I think it is good idea to notify about this in the very first post

I had try http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim.pl + SB4.exim.conf - and this combination isn't working. DA exim.pl contains code (...$name = "unknown";...) wich fills /etc/virtual/usage/unknown after a while and rejects a lot of mail with "550-Verification failed for" . (if /etc/virtual/limit is not empty)

So it is bad idea to mix SB4.exim.conf with DA.exim.pl.

But SB.exim.pl+SB.exim.conf work good (at least throughout 1 day ).
