This guy/gal we will call "The so-called idiot" has subscribed to the mailing list and turned his autoreply for his webmail on. So every time there is a posting to a certain list his email address autogens a response and sends it back out to the original sender of the mail. This is in turn something that mailing list software should protect against otherwise we could have a nice flood of webmail autoreply DoS's. I have added a procmail recipe to my $HOME/.procmailrc to delete these emailings along with other unwanted stuff from idiots like this one allready just to solve the problem until someone comes up with a great idea to add a "repeat mailing filter" (hint) to the mailing lists. Following is a procmailrc example for removing email from hosts that you dont want.
# ---- Begin $HOME/.procmailrc ----
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=/var/mail/$LOGNAME LOGFILE=$HOME/log/procmail.log # Comment this out for no logs MAIL_ALLOW=$HOME/.procmail/mail.allow # List of allowed host patterns MAIL_DENY=$HOME/.procmail/mail.deny # List of denied host patterns
:0:
* ? formail -x"From" -x"From:" -x"Sender:" \
-x"Reply-To:" -x"Return-Path:" -x"Received:" \
| egrep -is -f $MAIL_DENY
DROPBOX:0:
* ? formail -x"From" -x"From:" -x"Sender:" \
-x"Reply-To:" -x"Return-Path:" -x"Received:" \
| egrep -is -f $MAIL_ALLOW
${DEFAULT}# ---- End of $HOME/.procmailrc ----
Now just setup a couple of things. Make sure you have procmail installed. Create the $HOME/.procmailrc with the contents above. mkdir $HOME/log for log files. mkdir $HOME/.procmail for keeping the mail.allow and mail.deny filter files. Make sure to at least touch $HOME/.procmail/mail.allow & $HOME/.procmail/mail.deny. All done and set, you can start adding your host patterns to mail.deny or mail.allow in the form of any of the following. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], host.net, .host.net, @host.net, hostname.host.net. I would reccomend adding just single words to the deny file just for the reason of it will match if the word shows up anywhere in the fields that it greps and return true and ultimately dumping your mail to a DROPBOX. You can also change the DROPBOX part to a absolute path like "/dev/null" as well.
Now just add the following to your $HOME/.forward file and youll have some easy filters setup for your control.
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -Yf- || exit 75 #USERNAME"
^^^ including the double quotes ^^^
Best of luck.
