Hey All - I'm a LONG time user of procmail, and just now looking into
something that kinda scares me.
Read/Delivery receipts (DSN) seem to prove to scumbag spammers that we
exist. I'm guessing I can block them with procmail, and before I start
looking into it, thought I should ask.
Anybody doing this?
Formail seems the obvious immediate choice.
I've never seen a MUA yet that doesn't at least have a config option to ask
you before sending such a receipt. To my knowledge, there are no MTA's that
send them automatically. It's all controlled by the MUA, so it's not much of
an issue.
A bigger problem with scumbag spammers is the use of html mail and image tags
with unique URLs.
