I'm told that the anti-spam capabilities in 2.2.8's Sendmail configuration don't allow for blocking on individual e-mail addresses. > What are we doing wrong? Any clues? If nobody else shouts this uncomfirmed statement down, you have a few options: 1) Upgrade to the 3.x line of FreeBSD. :-) 2) Hunt around www.sendmail.org and see if there isn't an additional package you can add for your fairly old version of Sendmail. 3) Install Postfix, Exim or a newer version of Sendmail, all of which have some pretty wicked anti-Spam stuff. Option 2 is probably your cheapest bet, assuming time is money. :-) Hope that helps. Ciao, Sheldon.
