Hey gang,
How do I block mail coming into my mail server? I am using the default imapd and mail stuff that comes w/ slackware, and I want to block mail coming in with a certain subject line. thanks

procmail will do that for you, but Iam not sure it can do it for the whole system. I know it can do it for each individual user. You could add the recipe to all of the user's .procmailrc (if they dont have one, create one and put it in there). Put a copy of the .procmailrc you want each user to have in the /etc/skel directory, and then if you create new users, they will automatically get that file.

Hope this helps,
Murdock
