mkdir -pv /var/eenos/userdata/fun/mail/accountfilter/foo.com
touch /var/eenos/userdata/fun/mail/accountfilter/foo.com/myemail
chown -R eenos:eenos /var/eenos/userdata/fun/mail/accountfilter

Now add the following  example exim filter code to block all email from a domain  blockthis.com

# Exim filter
if
    $header_from: contains "@blockthis.com"
then
    testprint "Messages from this domain is blocked."
