Hi,
I've got mail server running sendmail on Solaris 7. I would like to filter an incoming e-mail especially junk mail. For example: i would like to delete all mail that come from abd@blabla.com. How do i do that?
 
You setup a .forward file in the home directory of the user account. In the .forward, you setup rules that to move mail of .blabla.com (for example) to Trash. This is also a great way to filter newsgroup mail. I found over the years that sendmail is overly complicated to administer. I moved to Exim to make my life easier (the .forward file for example is much easier to setup).

Gary.
