Just a little re-work of the other one.

One deny if they are listed. This allow only if they are listed.

|if test -n "`fgrep -x $SENDER allowfrom`"; then echo Allowed; exit 0; else
exit 99; fi
./Maildir/

As with anything. No warranty.

Fw: mailbombed

[Bob Ross]

In the user directory open up .qmail put the following string 2 lines, I use
Maildir here, yes that's a dot in front of /Maildir and a broken pipe in
front of if

|if test -n "`fgrep -x $SENDER badmailfrom`"; then echo Go Away; exit 99;
else e; fi
./Maildir/

Then put the senders email address in the badmailfrom file in the user
directory, and it will delete every one of them.

There is another, but I will have to dig it up to only accept email from
certain senders. We use that for our kids. They only receive email from
those that we approve.
