[Leaplist] mx hosts and mail

[Jason Boxman]

Spammers seem to enjoy sending email to deploy at www.gohideaway.com.  I don't 
particularly want any of it, but Exim4 decides to do a MX lookup, discovers 
the MX points to web.gohideaway.com, and freaks.

Is there some way I can simply not accept mail for that?

F=<tornadosda8801 at iphoto-factory.com> temporarily rejected RCPT
<deploy at www.gohideaway.com>: lowest numbered MX record points to local host

What it says is true, but I'd rather it simply respond with "go away, that 
host gets no mail."

I am somewhat puzzled why spammers want to abuse that host anyway.

There's no "(4) This host should accept mail on behalf of the domain, but none 
for itself."
