A word about bouncing email, via procmail, based strictly
on the "From:" or Envelope-Sender... ***DON'T***!!!
Remember Rule #1... spammers lie. If your system gets a bunch
of spam routed via an open relay, the From: and Envelope-Sender
will most likely be forged. At best, it'll be a non-existant
domain, and the bounce will sit in your outbound queue, using up
disk space. (Suggestion; my ISP, Interlog, rejects email with a
non-DNS-resolvable "From:" domain. I suggest using a soft failure
so that if the problem was a temporary DNS failure, the email will
eventually get through). At worst, you'll end up as a proxy-
mailbomber of some innocent 3rd party, who might become an enemy
of the anti-spam cause.
This is really a job for an MTA, not an ex-post-facto filter
like procmail.
