You should be able to edit /etc/mail/access for blocking via sender. Nick

A search on comp.mail.sendmail for this will reveal that you can put in a LOCAL_RULESET to block mail by subject. (groups.google.com) However as previously mentioned on the list, make sure SuSEconfig does not overwrite your sendmail.cf/mc file (edit /etc/rc.conifig), and you'll probably have to generate the .cf file by hand using m4, or put the rulesets right in the .cf file. -- Cheers, Joost

Edit /etc/mail/linux.mc then everytime SuSEconfig is run your changes will show up in /etc/sendmail.cf. I think /etc/mail/linux.mc is the right file. Nick
Yes, the mc will create the cf file....however, the scans of an attachment need to be done with a Milter. Regards, Jon On Wed, 6 Jun 2001, Nick Zentena wrote:

Yes, Sounds like you would need a Milter which filters the MIME attachments. Trend has stuff like this that will plug into Sendmail and Sendmail Inc also sells this stuff. Regards, Jon On Wed, 6 Jun 2001, Linux - User wrote:
