This is probably a very dumb question, but here goes. I'll be going on
vacation in about a month and instead of coming back to a spam folder
full of a couple of thousand messages I'd just like to not even have them
tossed into
the spam folder. I currently have this in my .procmailrc file:
:0
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES
$JUNKMAIL
Would just changing the $JUNKMAIL to /dev/null drop all spam into a black
hole? I checked the examples man page and the others, did find one
example where /dev/null was used in a linuxgazette article, but want to
make sure this is the correct way.
You can use
:0
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES
/dev/null
but I personaly prefer to move the SPAM to folders and
then from time to time I check it manualy IF (!!!) I
think, I have lost a message accidantly...
Thanks Michelle, thats what I do now is to move spam to a junkmail folder then
manually go through it before running another script that reports to DCC;
Pyzor and so on. I just want to do this while on vacation for two weeks so I
don't come back to a folder with a couple of thousand 'suspected' spam mails
to weed through.
