Hi Dan, There is a Linux utility that conects to the POP mailbox before actual download of email and removes directly every email that matches a given set of rules.
I guess this is of no use to your problem as here only SMTP y involved but it might help. I will try to find out what was the program, that I can't recall now. Hope it helps (a bit) Regards. --- Jaime Nebrera - [EMAIL PROTECTED] El Mar 08 Ene 2002 03:40, Darrell May escribió: > smtpd_check_rules/60AllowLocalDomains > > Problem: > - the '60AllowLocalDomains' fragment allows all smtp connections to proceed > simply if the domain name matches a local domain.
