Block SPAM in Exim

To block domains or email addresses that are sending SPAM, I have placed the following code in the config file /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template at the end of the acl_check_rcpt: section, just above the accept directive

        # CUSTOM ACL START
        deny senders    = /etc/exim4/CUSTOM-BLACKLIST
        message         = You have been blacklisted for sending SPAM.
        # CUSTOM ACL END

and of course I have placed all the blacklisted domains in that /etc/exim4/CUSTOM-BLACKLIST file, like this (actual snippet):

fluor.webmedia.hr

qq.com

I use Ubuntu. I hope this helps you.
