Big topic. Do you mean at the system level, with sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc., or at the user level? If you want system-wide control then it's best to check out the anti-spam abilities of your mail system. Procmail works great, but it's more of a user-level utility; by the time it gets to look at the message your system has already received it. This is fine for last-ditch trashing (and user-configurable behavior) but it's good to have something to protect you earlier in the chain. If you use sendmail then check out the documented anti-spam features here: http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti-spam.html Most alternative mail systems have similar abilities. Check postfix's here: http://postfix.affinity.net/uce.html Postfix is a powerful but much simpler-to-configure alternative to SendMail. (Beware the port; it's moldy. The latest version from www.postfix.org supports FBSD nicely.)
