You can use the access file to generate messages. For example, I got sick of spammers hitting an old email account of mine ([email protected]) so in my access file I have: Code: [email protected] ERROR:550 Mailbox disabled for this username I re-generated the access db with the following command. That email address no longer receives mail and the sender gets the message I have set. Code: makemap -v hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access To use the access file you need to have it enabled in sendmail.cf. You can enable it by adding FEATURE(`access_db')dnl to sendmail.mc and re-generating sendmail.cf. -- Ashwin R.
