Sendmail & SPAM

Sendmail & SPAM

[Andrew B. Cramer]

Hi,
	Yet another question. Has anyone configured a filter to use with 
Sendmail that uses a list of rejections that will return a 'user not 
found' message back to the sender, and deletes that incoming email?

TIA - Andrew

Hi Glenn,
	Sounds interesting. Here is what I need to do.

/Internet/----/MyLinuxServer/----/MyWorkstation/

Can this be used on the MyLinuxServer to do this? What if I don't 
have X running on the server?

Thanks - Andrew
