In addition to what has been previously suggested, modern sendmails can
refuse SMTP connections on a sender or sender/recipient basis, so you
may want to ask your ISP if they can do this for you. Then the
offending mail would never even reach your ISP.
Rick,
Despite the fact that this is a sendmail question
I'd be delighted if you would share the details of this
method with us (or me at least) or point me to which
'm' I should 'f'ing (flippin') 'r' (so to speak).
I'd also like to know if there's any way I can
put an entry in a sendmail aliases file that has
a "wildcard" or "regex" pattern in it -- something
like:
info.*: info
So that sendmail would dispatch all the mail to
'info.foo' and 'info.bar' to 'info' (where my
procmail recipes would sort them out).
I've heard vague references to something that the
referrer vaguely called "star addressing" but
no examples or pointers.
