Thanks for the pointers, but since procmail is a mail filtering discussion
group, I don't think your favoured program is what the readers here are
looking for in life.
Spam bouncer *IS* a procmail filter script. It can't run without procmail, as
you would have discovered had you taken the time to read the web page, since
it is nothing more than a set of procmail recipes. It is called by
.procmailrc using the line "INCLUDERC=$SBDIR/spam.rc", ("INCLUDERC=" is just
a way of telling procmail to include another *procmail* recipe file in your
.procmailrc).
It *IS* "what the readers here are looking for" in procmail recipes for
filtering out spam. (And you misspelled "favored", perhaps you're using a
Microsoft spelling checker.)
Please cease carboning this list on your posts to elsewhere. Thank you.
I didn't "carbon" to "elsewhere". I merely replied to the list so that
readers of the procmail list could benefit. That's where the question was
posted, so that's where I replied.
No reply is warranted or wanted.

Speak for yourself. People asked, I replied.
But since *YOU*, in your terse arrogance, don't want to continue this
discussion, I edited the header so that only the list will receive this. And
that, so that the misunderstanding you may have caused can be corrected.
For those who missed the url for Spam bouncer, which again IS A PROCMAIL
RECIPE for filtering out spam USING PROCMAIL, here it is again;
http://www.best.com/~ariel/nospam/
I've been using it IN MY .PROCMAILRC for a while now, and it's performed
beautifully, bouncing the spam and automatically complaining to the
spammer's ISP.
P.S. - Sorry if I didn't make it clear in my previous replies that Spam
bouncer is really a group of procmail recipes; just what many of you have
been asking for.
Russ.
