Blocking out going spam with Exim

http://serverfault.com – I know it is possible to use RBLs and wordlist filtering with Exim but can't seem to find any examples. The closest thing I've found so far is http://www.sput.nl/software/exim.html which is more massive then I would hope for. (HowTos)

This may be a false positive..

Exim has been updated to fix a remote code execution flaw. Here is the announcement: https://lists.exim.org/lurker/messag...b9147b.en.html

No details on whether it's being actively exploited.

I would recommend disabling dkim in the exim configuration editor until 4.82 is pushed to your servers. RCE is nothing to mess around with.

::1 during exim-config? 40 weeks 19 hours ago

While executing

sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

there is this screen (IP adresses on which exim shall listen):

What does the ::1 mean? Is it an exim specific thing or - as I assume - some genereal linxu thing?

I have DKIM configured in Exim for outgoing mail, as per the documentation. Exim signs all outgoing mail. But some of that outgoing mail is forwarded, thanks to a users .forward file. This is a problem for me, because some of those messages are spam (my exim configuration does not do any verification) and I don't want to take responsibility for them.

I have a server running cPanel/WHM with exim and SpamAssassin. I've been noticing an issue where emails coming in with forged spamassassin headers bypassing some of the filtering. I want to strip out all SpamAssassin headers before it goes through spamassassin and then filtered into the inbox/spam folders.

Searching the net, the only similar instance I could find was from 2004.
