Hello,

can someone give me a simple procmail recipe to filter
spam mails ? -- I've several addresses which are considered
to be spam. Ideally the recipe should
   1) save the spam to /dev/null

A more general way is this:

SPAMMERS=$HOME/.procmail/spammers
SPAM=/dev/null

:0:
* ? (formail -x From: -x Sender: -x Reply-To: -x Received: | fgrep -iqf 
$SPAMMERS)
$SPAM

Any email address found in ~/.procmail/spammers will be sent to $SPAM.
Parts of addresses will work too. A great way to kill lots of spam is to
just put aol.com in there ;-)

   2) notify the sender that the mail is considered to be
      spam and therefore beeing killed.

Not a good plan in general.

Tom.
