Use fetchmail in a cronjob to download the mail into another email box.

Then use procmail to filter out the email with the bad mojo.

Explains how to to this.

Then just change otrs to get the mail from the new mailbox, probably want to increase 
the time to pop the mail to allow for procmail completing.

This is close to what you want (it think) with out totally changing your otrs config.

I know you stated you don't know procmail, but it seems like a good to learn. Besides 
who doesn’t learn best by being under the gun.

Subject:        [otrs] Blocking email addresses with POP3
We're in a real pickle over here.

Somebody faked our support email address and sent an email to an
autoresponder that does not return the same subject title. So our cases have
filled up with some 200 back and forth messages with no end in sight. The
other company is perfectly clueless. They don't even understand what is
going on.

Is there any way using PostMasterPOP3.pl that we can block specific email
addresses or domains so their mail is not imported into OTRS? Our system is
running perfectly and I really don't want to switch to procmail or something
else I don't fully understand. It appears that using procmail is a totally
different type of setup so it's a bit much right now.

Even if we had to do some hack to the code that receives the email and do it
there.. that's acceptible to us, we just don't know where to do it.

direct email replies along with the list are welcome and actually requested
since we're currently  down for the count until this can be resolved

Thanks for any help guys
