hi i have QTP with spamdyke implemented and running on my server
i read thru spamdyke configuration details but did not find anything specific that will actually block spam mail with the "from" and "to" address as the same but originating from a unknown server. Can you point me as to which specific configuration will actually track this and help me to block such mails? by the way i found a spamassassin plugin that blocks emails where the "mail from" different from the "reply to" which i am posting seperately incase it is useful for somebody -- this blocks tons of email list spam with minimal load on spamassassin. thanks rajesh > Simply run the qtp-install-spamdyke script, and spamdyke will be > installed for you.
