In the file, /etc/mail/access, I enter either the: return address, or if its not a real one, then the ip address from whence it was sent, or the domain name of the server that it last came from, then as action to be taken, I choose to enter a line as such in /etc/mail/access :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ERROR:"550 Please stop spamming me" This bounces the dumb old poopy spam back to where it came from and the spammer then thinks, "Oh dangbusta poopybottom, that is not even a real address." and more than likely takes it off the list, but either way, you never see the dirty rotten yucky spam ever again. O yes don't forget to type service sendmail restart in a text terminal as the root user so the new setting will take effect.
