disable email

[Ricky B. Nino]

Please advise how to disable receiving/sending email messages to specific user accounts only.

Check /etc/mail/aliases file.

Everything is there.

Hi Anil,

I dont get the point in... its all in /etc/mail/aliases file.

Just to give you more idea on what I want to do. The email disabling would be in a selective manner. For example I will NOT allow user1, user2, and user3 to send/receive email message.

Hi Ricky,

I'd look at the check_mail and check_rcpt rulesets within sendmail.cf

These allow specific actions to be taken depending on the sender/recipient address.

If you don't have the O'Reilly "Bat book", a web search should give you a few examples.

Rgds, Robin

the receiving part is easy :
root : /dev/null
in de aliases file redirects all mails to root to the 'trashcan'.
