Sendmail exclude sender

I wish to exclude lp from sending "failed print" messages to those users using rlp. By default lp doesnt' send "success" type messages but does send one if there is an error. My users don't want the emails and have asked me to make it stop. Any suggestions?

Wow I am surprised. Usually questions are responded to in a matter of minutes and 4 days later not a single suggestion. I can't have all of you guru's stumped. Where are the sendmail experts?

Re: Sendmail exclude sender

This is just recently. It talks about how to NOT get email when a "cancelled print" happened. If it's me, I would use some kind of email filtering to filter out these emails (here we use procmail and it works pretty well).

Hope it helps a little ..

Re: Sendmail exclude sender

Maybe some sort of wrapper for rlp that can be made to point to a dummy mail file.

Something like:

touch /tmp/mail
PATH=/tmp:$PATH
