can we block mails with perticular subject line

[Raj]

Hi everyone.
really thx for your replays,

I think i found the solution to block or redirect the mails with particular
words in the subject line.

STICK TO THE BASICS GUYS.............!

YES ......It is possible on sendmail.
i used scripts on MDA( message deliver agent) which is procmail on my
sendmail.

I will explain how, May some one can benefit out this.

I made a simple script inside ~/.procmailrc on each user.

:0
* ^Subject:.*\fuck
$MAILDIR/mail/SPAM

:0
* ^Subject:.*\sex
$MAILDIR/mail/SPAM


This will move mails with fuck & sex on the subject line from inbox to SPAM
folder for each user in the sendmail.There are many thing possible on
procmail you can even send these mails to any other user as if mailscanner
is sending a warning to a superuser.

for that u have to give

:0
 * ^Subject:.*fuck
 {
                  :0 c
                  !trackspam at pun.softspins.com

 }

where fuck is the bad word & trackspam is the user to monitor the mails.

by carefully inspecting procmail many things are possible , u can even
manipulate mails with words in the message body or perticular attachment and
so on.

so try your own scripts which suites your company & infrastructure.


But still i am facing some problem, what happened is i got nearly 80 users &
if i want to implement this i have to copy these files to all home directory
on each & every user.
The same scripts didn't worked when i put inside /etc/procmailrc.

I am trying to find a solution, if any one got please help me out.
