I'm am online 24/7 but the process (as I understand it) by which mail is collected (fetchmail) is via smtp. The fact that the mail is rejected presumably is reflected back to the sender via your ISP. With sa-exim, a temporary or permanent (score dependent) rejection message is sent back to the sender. So whether you are connected 24/7 or not, shouldn't alter this process. > I use pon + fetchmail to get my mail from a pop3 server at my isp every > couple of days, isn't it to late to reject then? > AFAICT it shouldn't have any affect although I have noticed a problem with processing messages > 2days old if I try to process them manually. > Am I misunderstanding something? I would like to (reject spam at SMTP > time) also. I will read the doc's you posted links to Clive. We're in the process of getting my install/configuration notes up on a new website but meantime I'll put them up at the back of our existing site somewhere tonight and post the link.
