  • Cpanel Server Block Incoming SPF Failed Mails

    One of the customer email account as getting too much incoming emails from [email protected].

    First i tried to block the sender IP, but they are using too many IP.

    To stop this incoming email, i edited

    vi /etc/exim.conf
    

    Find

    acl_smtp_rcpt
    

    Add below

    deny message = SPF: $sender_host_address is not allowed to send mail from $sender_address_domain
    spf = fail
    

    Restart exim

    service exim restart
    

    Now watch the mail log with

    tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog | grep "is not allowed to send mail from"
