Does somebody know a method to discard automatically certain mail ?
On our site, we receive a lot of "undesirable" messages.
It is possible to configure pine to eliminate these messages ?
(With or without response)
Any info would be great.

    Pine by itself will not do this.  You have to use some other program 
which will preprocess the mail before Pine gets hold of it.  On Unix 
systems, procmail and (elm) filter are commonly used.  Nancy McGough has 
some good material on this on her World Wide Web pages, if you can get to 
them.  As a starting point, look at

(Nancy, please correct me if I'm wrong.)
