<pre wrap="">I thought it was sufficient to look into the headers
of the offending email spammmers and add these respective
IP address and/or host names to the /etc/mail/access file,
but I am beginning to suspect that these headers could be
easily spoofed with bogus entries, right?
I am really getting tired of adding in entries into the access
file, and writing email filters (in thunderbird) for patterns
dumping spammers into the trash - and yet - I am still forced
to review the trash for entries that should not have been trashed.
Seems like a real chore and a losing proposition...
What do admins of sendmail use, besides spamassasin?
Thanks!

one approach is to use the black hole filters, confgure them for
sendmail <br>
and that will catch a lot of bad addresses..<br>

Hmm... I reviewed this, added the FEATURE entry but<br>
unfortunately it is missing the corresponding mc file:<br>
<br>
m4:sendmail.mc:198: cannot open
`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/feature/rbl.m4': No such file or directory<br>
<br>
Where can I get this mc file, do you know?<br>
