Add IP to deny list through an Exim filter

I am using an Exim filter to filter mails from unwanted extensions. I want to add these IPs to the deny list of Configserver Firewall (CSF) so that a spammer gets blocked (at least on a temp basis) if the emails from him/her are not allowed to be transmitted. Example: A spammer from example.xyz using IP xx.xx.xx.xx sends an email to example@example.com on my server. The anti-filter rejects this. I want to add the IP xx.xx.xx.xx to the deny IP list on my CSF (or block it on temp basis by some other means). Q1. How to trigger this addition (I think we need to update some data file that CSF uses)? Q2. How to restart CSF to take this into account? I am wondering if this is a bad idea because I may end up having multiple restarts of CSF.

  Hello :) This would require a custom script that takes the IP address blocked in Exim and manually adds it to the CSF deny list. You may need to ask this question on the CSF forums for more information about their configuration files at: General Discussion (csf) - ConfigServer Community Forum Thank you.
