See www.sendmail.org. They have information on spam. Procmail is your immediate answer and there is a collection of filters at sendmail.org, I believe. Unfortunately, with procmail, you've already wasted the bandwidth. I'm thinking of building some sendmail rules to can them on our mail exchanger. I'd also like some rules to confine outbound mail to our domain. If anyone has ideas, or has done this, please let me know. Thanks. -- Jay On Sun, 27 Apr 1997, Thomas D.
