Subject: How Can I *&^%$@#-list Someone's Mail?

From: [email-masked] (Elizabeth Mills)

is it possible to automatically bounce messages from a particular sender? 
i don't particularly want to receive mail from certain person and i'd 
like to just bounce it back to them w/ some sort of "your mail is being 
refused" message. 

i can't find anything in the pine program that does this. is there a way 
thru pine? or do i have to write a unix script to do the deed... let 
me know, please.

email me at: [email-masked]

    Pine by itself will not do this.  If you are on a Un*x(-like) system,
you can use a mail preprocessor like procmail to do mail filtering: take
action on mail from the particular sender and dump everything else, by
default, into your mailbox (or however you wnat to set it up).  For 
information on mail filtering, including procmail:
