Sendmail --> Blocking email from senders

ForumKid · 10-25-2002, 02:01 PM

HI,
Is there a way for sendmail 8.11.6 to be configured to block certain senders from sending me emails. Kind of like a filtering process.
Thanks

First of all: Thanks that you are a contributing member

Regarding your question:
Yep it's possible using /etc/mail/access, just add an entry of the form:

Code:

user@host.net	550 Rejected due massive amout of spam!
domain.com	550 Rejected due massive amout of spam!

Check /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf, section access_db for more information regarding this!
