This sounds like an Exim question. SA doesn't have a reject log. You
should check out the Exim docs.
Short answer, take a look
lost the ability to do SMTP-time rejection, what with
using fetchmail and all, I'd go with per-user bayes databases. Just
make sure your users spend a little time training it up front. You
might want to look at a web-based front-end to handle bayes training
and per-user settings. C
you must have modified them in some way. If you're unfamiliar with
Exim it might be helpful to check out Tim Jackson's howto. It's a
little out of date, but for the most part should work fine.
