Hello!

I am interested in filtering incomming e-mails.
I mean, is it possible to refuse letters from a special person?
Thank you!

Hmm, normally users tend to use procmail for tasks like
this. According to some postings here (where they shouldn't be :-)
procmail is *not* difficult to configure :-))

Try 'man procmail' ... on a UN*X system, that is :-)

l8er, norbert.

why not filtering with a .forward and filter-rules???   Procmail is not
"standard" Unix, is it???  I ask because my system in SCD does not have a
"procmail" executable, yet CGD (my old division) does.  I was also told
that users in CGD were the ones to install procmail there.  So,... I would
assume that procmail may not always be available.

I use elm filtering here.  Of course, your systems folks could disable
that as well (that is the case in CGD), but if not, check out the
information at http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~walker/elm-filter.html#ref

I think this info is pretty good.

Good luck
