Here's my script: ----- #!/usr/bin/perl # put the contents of the message into an array @originalMessage=<STDIN>; @[EMAIL PROTECTED]; # weed out the html tags foreach $line (@scanThis) { $line =~ s/\<[^\>]*\>//g; } # get message into a string so we can search it $messageString1=join(" ", @scanThis); $messageString2=join(" ", @originalMessage); $messageString = "$messageString1 $messageString2"; # get all the bad content lines from datafile open (BADLINES, "/home/gman/scripts/badlines.txt"); @badlines=<BADLINES>; close BADLINES; # if the message contains bad content, exit foreach $line (@badlines) { chomp $line; if ($messageString =~ m/$line/i) { exit 0; } } # we found nothing bad, so pass it through to RT open (PIPE, "|/opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate --queue customer_probs --action correspond"); print PIPE @originalMessage; close PIPE; ---- I'm still using RT2, and the line: "|/opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate --queue customer_probs --action correspond" is directly from /etc/aliases. I'm not sure how it is done in RT3, but I'm sure it's similar. The file: /home/gman/scripts/badlines.txt Should contain text strings which have content to cause the message to never make it to RT. Each line should contain its own text to block. You may need to escape certain characters, such as "@" and "*". Here's a section of my badlines.txt: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ F\*R\*E\*E health insurance rates chat with singles 100% risk free EXERC1SE Each line of the badlines.txt should contain text you want to block. _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
