Exim security/iptables query

[Desai, Jason]

If you use Mailwatch, you can run some simple queries to create a list of ip
addresses of virus senders, put them into a file, and have Exim reject these
at the MTA level with a nice message as to why they are being rejected.  We
do something similar for both spam and virus senders.
