You don't use procmail for that, that's sendmail's job. See /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README Specifically rbl Turns on rejection of hosts found in the Realtime Blackhole List. If an argument is provided it is used as the name sever to contact; otherwise, the main RBL server at rbl.maps.vix.com is used. For details, see http://maps.vix.com/rbl/. under FEATURES > I use Pine as my MTA, and I don't want to change that, > but I'm not sure how to shoehorn procmail into that. Pine (a MUserA, not a MTransferAgent) has no interface with procmail, it just reads the mail that procmail has done its things to. Sendmail can be configured to pass mail through procmail, rather than mail.local(8) for local delivery which is then read with pine or whatever. Look for procmail in the same README to have sendmail use it, or call it from a .forward file as detailed in the procmail(1) man page. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Systems Administrator / Systems Analyst jack@germanium.xtalwind.net Crystal Wind Communications, Inc.
