That's no problem. There's a bunch of things you can do. The procmailrc
or the input script could simply pass on anything that doesn't have
at least one of a list of keywords (e.g. the product name). You would
still get the message in the inbox but it wouldn't trigger the ticket
routines. You might get a few false negatives but you're almost guaranteed
to eliminate the spams. You can also whitelist senders you replied to.
