Hi Sebastian Bernheim! I'm a UNIX administrator and I like to fight spam!
I was wondering if anyone uses procmail for a bozo-filter and if they
could email me a simple example. Basically I want to keep a file with
a list of email addresses in my $HOME or .procmail directories called
.bozo (or the like) and have messages from email addresses in the .bozo
file automagically redirected to /dev/null (or possibly do something
else fun with them, like automatically email a complaint to root and
postmaster at their domain).
If anyone would like to volunteer a simple example I would be greatly
appreciative.
Sure.
This will reject e-mail from the softcell spammers:
:0
* ^From:.*softcell.net
# since they don't forge their e-mails
| $MAILDIR/forrep $MAILDIR/softcell.txt postmaster(_at_)softcell(_dot_)net \
root(_at_)softcell(_dot_)net gary(_at_)softcell(_dot_)net
webmaster(_at_)ANAWAVE(_dot_)COM \
ssmith(_at_)ANAWAVE(_dot_)COM help(_at_)uunet(_dot_)uu(_dot_)net \
# calls forrep with the softcell.txt file that basically tells them
# to get bent, and the rest of the arguements are the addresses of
# their upstream contacts
| $FORMAIL -i "Subject: UCE REJECTED!!" \
# change the subject
- -I "BCC: $USER" | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
# BCC it to me so I can report it to SPAM-L
You can get forrep, a shell script responder program which I
wrote, by sending an e-mail to dmuth+forrep(_at_)ot(_dot_)com(_dot_) I used it
awhile ago
to deal with an AOLer and it worked great!
Regards,
