Hi is there any way to limit the connection for a specific domain on the exim server? i would that domain.ext will accept only connection for X ips.

You can set this globally with the following option in exim.conf file. Default value is 20. smtp_accept_max

You can whitelist an IP in the exim.conf file. Search for the following line and add the IP as follows. accept hosts IP1:IP2:IP3:
