Don't. It breaks stuff.

Subject: REJECT mail from nobody


All,
 
I have read we can't reject mail using the Sendmail hash database using <>@
becuse thats a null value, so I'm looking for the best way to reject mail
without a from address ("from=<>"). I'm looking at one of the rulesets, SA
or Mailscanner.
 
Mabye a perl expression :    From:    /[\<\>\@$/
 
I could not find the answer in the archives. There maybe a better way, I'm
sure my syntax is wrong above...Help
 
Setup=
RH 9
SendMail 8.12.8
MailScanner 4.29
SpamAssassin 2.63
This is an SMTP gateway, so all mail is destined (Relayed ) to another Mail
server (Exchange).
