subject line blocking

manish_27 — Mon, 09 May 2005 09:59:13 GMT

I have installed Redhat 9.0 with sendmail on one of my server. It seems to be working fine.

I would like to block a mail with a specific subject line"hi" . Could anyone help me with a detailed idea.

Thanks in advance

I believe spamassassin can accomplish the task.

I would get the package from yum, but here is a link anyway.

You can also use procmail as a tool to filter junk mail

see man procmail

Hi manish,

I use spamcop:
Add the following line to your config.m4
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `bl.spamcop.net', `"Spam blocked see: http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml?"$&{client_addr}')dnl
Or for later versions:
FEATURE(`enhdnsbl', `bl.spamcop.net', `"Spam blocked see: http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml?"$&{client_addr}', `t')dnl
Re-compile your sendmail.cf from the config.m4
Re-start sendmail

Cheerio,

Renarios
