Filter mail subject in Sendmail

[Anthony khan]

Hi

Is there any way we can filter mail subject in Sendmail.
Thanks in advance

I think what you might be looking for is procmail:

You can use mail filtering packages like BCRMAIL etc

Yes.

I've got this immediately after the check_relay ruleset in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

HSubject: $>Check_Subject

If you modify sendmail.cf, don't forget to stop sendmail (killsm) and restart it (/sbin/init.d/sendmail start).

P.S. be very careful with spaces vs. tabs in sendmail.cf.
