Spam from Authenticated users

Hi There

Another suggestion for trapping spam

In exim with extended logging enabled you can see if users are authenticated under the A= value in the log file.

This is very handy for tracking people who are spamming using their webmail clients or via a mail client

Typically in our experience we see this being a useful option to use to track users who;s accounts are being abused, the majority of the time these users have had their passwords compromised by a spammer,

It would also be great if there was an option to suspend the user and notify of the action.

There are already options for tracking relaying - Relay Tracking (RT_*). The RT_AUTHRELAY_BLOCK option allows you to block authenticated relaying.
