Just drop the mail into the bit bucket. --Adam

Pushy little prick isn't he??? Best Advice we can give you.. Learn C code and go write your own because you are obviously not going to listen to us.

Begging for a control/spamlovers patch
I want to convert one more sendmail MX to qmail with rblsmtpd. But there is a show stopper: A handful of users demand to receive all email, even when it comes from blacklisted IPs. Well, qmail-smtpd read control/badmailfrom, so I suppose it will be easy to modify it so it to also read a new file, control/spamlovers, which contains a list of reciepient adresses that want the mail, even when it comes from a blacklisted IP. As I am not a programmer, don't want to screw up qmail-smtpd, and don't fully understand qmail-smtpd.c, I ask for help. That patch would also make a nice addition to chapter VII in Chris Hardies qmail Anti-spam HOWTO. Please don't suggest post-filtering instead. I want control at the SMTP level. Otherwise I may have a hard time trying to return an error message, and maybe the sender is unreachable or an innocent fake. I would never silently drop an email, at least not without having looked at it first, and I don't have time for that. -- Med venlig hilsen / Regards Netdriftgruppen / Network Management Group UNI-C Tlf./Phone +45 35 87 89 41Mail: UNI-C Fax. +45 35 87 89 90 Bygning 304 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DK-2800 Lyngby
RE: Begging for a control/spamlovers patch
Perhaps you could use http://www.qmail.org/qqrbl Then users who don't want spam can filter based on the X-RBL: header. I want to convert one more sendmail MX to qmail with rblsmtpd. But there is a show stopper: A handful of users demand to receive all email, even when it comes from blacklisted IPs.
