Fw: mailbombed

[Bob Ross]

In the user directory open up .qmail put the following string 2 lines, I use
Maildir here, yes that's a dot in front of /Maildir and a broken pipe in
front of if

|if test -n `fgrep -x $SENDER badmailfrom`; then echo Go Away; exit 99;
else e; fi
./Maildir/

Then put the senders email address in the badmailfrom file in the user
directory, and it will delete every one of them.

There is another, but I will have to dig it up to only accept email from
certain senders. We use that for our kids. They only receive email from
those that we approve.

  They are all the same size, so I could use find to look through mess for
  the file names, then remove them from mess, info and remote. Does that
  work? Should I stop qmail-send before doing this?

 Add the domain to virtualdomains, like so:

 domain.com:alias-domain

 then create ~alias/.qmail-domain-default with a single hash (#) mark in
it.

 then add a smtproute to localhost for the domain and restart qmail-send.
The
 only problem with this is that all messages for that domain will be
deleted,
 not just the person who got mailbombed.

Just a little re-work of the other one.

One deny if they are listed. This allow only if they are listed.

|if test -n `fgrep -x $SENDER allowfrom`; then echo Allowed; exit 0; else
exit 99; fi
./Maildir/

As with anything. No warranty.
