Thank you, I'll see if I can work up an understanding of it. procmail recipes for enabling rejection : http://www.animalgenome.org/SmartList/contrib/reject_garbage.txt the specific recipe for rejecting a message with overquoting was this one below. The weighting of quoted versus non-quoted lines, represented by the numbers 20 and -10, was arrived at by trial and error, and as I recall, was fairly lenient toward quoting so as not to make too many subscribers complain. Looks like I was pedantic enough in text of the rejection message. Also, today the quoting is done with some form of rich text at times, is it not? -----cut here---- # mine (rob <a> colorist.org , 1998) :0 hBHw * 20^1 ^> * -10^1 ^[^>] { :0c | formail -i "Subject: ***quote REJECT engaged"| $SENDMAIL -oi $maintainer :0 | quotereject -attach } case $function in -attach) ($formail -i"From: $listreq" -rtA"X-Loop: $listaddr" < $tmprequest ;\ $echo "Your mail to the mailinglist has been intercepted and" $echo "is being returned to you because it it appears to the list server" $echo "to contain an excessive amount of quoted material." $echo "Brief quoting is fine, but please quote only for context." $echo "Do not quote other messages in their entirety, or quote" $echo "message headers or signature files.
