Lines like recipients_reject_except_senders = partial-dbm;/etc/exim/senders-accept.db : par tial-dbm;/etc/exim/domains-accept.db : partial-dbm;/etc/exim/ip-accept.db partial-dbm statement means there is an external database file created with /usr/local/exim/bin/exim_dbmbuild /etc/exim/senders-accept /etc/exim/senders-accept.db In this case users-accept contains sender names I accept email from, one per line. For example: someuser@hotmail.com friend@yahoo.com I reject all email from hotmail.com, yahoo, and such in general. Magic, no spam from there. It's a manual way of building a white list of senders from there but a small price to pay for seeing only about 2 spams a week. I also check RRs for each server trying to deliver email. That takes out 90% of spam. That's all to it.
