Hi,
I''ve just installed exim4 on a new install of etch (using conf.d).
I get tons of email to invalid local addresses, all of which is spam.
What I want to do is just drop it, but exim4 is now generating bounce
messages to the forged sender addresses, which are getting rejected as
either unknown user or spam. I can''t just reject it at SMTP time, as
I''m using fetchmail.
I have previously been using exim3, with an added director that looks
like this:
catchall:
driver = smartuser
new_address = :blackhole:
But I''m not sure how to use that with exim 4 - I tried adding it to
the router directory as 999_bin_the_rubbish but exim rejects it with
the error ''router catchall: cannot find router driver
"smartuser"''.
I''m still looking, but any advice would be much appreciated!
...
Since writing that I''ve tried a variety of things involving appendfile
and /dev/null, but still haven''t found anything that works.

Have you tried it? That did it, thanks! It took a bit of digging and experimentation to figure out what to do with it, but I now have it working. Randy

I remember from the times when I was migrating from exim 3 to exim 4, that it was a big help to run my old exim 3 configuration through the update4r4 script just to find out what the tool meant to be a replacement for some exim 3 constructs. I then used some of the ideas I found in the converted config for the exim 4 configuration. I guess that this would have helped you in finding a solution. Additionally, I must say that pop3 multidrop setups need to die a quick death.
