Spam blocking using sendmail


Dear all this is my first question in that forum. I use RHEL4 in my pc. I want to block all the spam messages which are coming from Internet using sendmail server.

Which steps should i followed for that purpose. Is it possible only by the changing of line no. 138 inside the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc config. file or include any extra line. Give some suitable solution for me.

You can use the SpamAssasin to configure with the sendmail to block the spams at the server.
