# Fail2Ban filter for exim the spam rejection messages # # Honeypot traps are very useful for fighting spam. You just activate an email # address on your domain that you do not intend to use at all, and that normal # people do not risk to try for contacting you. It may be something that # spammers often test. You can also hide the address on a web page to be picked # by spam spiders. Or simply parse your mail logs for an invalid address # already being frequently targeted by spammers. Enable the address and # redirect it to the blackhole. In Exim's alias file, you would add the # following line (assuming the address is honeypot@yourdomain.com): # # honeypot: :blackhole: # # For the SA: Action: silently tossed message... to be logged exim's SAdevnull option needs to be used. # # To this filter use the jail.local should contain in the right jail: # # filter = exim-spam[honeypot=honeypot@yourdomain.com] # [INCLUDES] # Read common prefixes.
