You also can filter them out with spamassassinn, ie, with a score. After all, there are few messages of that kind. If there are many, just send a copy to the list owner, so that he can take action and unsusbscribe the culprit - which hopefully will teach him to do things right next time

That would defeat the entire purpose of blocking certain mail at the MTA. I want to REJECT mail while the SMTP session is still open. If I first ACCEPT mail and then filter it with SpamAssassin, I simply cannot reject it any more, because the sender address is unreliable. Email spoofing is all too common and I don't want to be a bounce spammer.
I know that, but the main caveat is that you may also loose bonafide out of office replies, or people commenting about such things, as you yourself noted.
It is your system and your choice, of course. You prefer to go low on cpu. But you asked for comments... you got them ;-)
OK, then we understand each other. ;-) It is indeed my system, used only by myself and the mrs, and I really don't care about a few missing out of offices. Anyway an out of office is a bit "enterprisey" and I usually don't mail a lot of "enterprisey" people. -- Amedee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
