Currently we enter SPAM offenders into the /etc/mail/access file with REJECT or DISCARD and a nice message. This one at a time stuff is slow. Is there a library we can subscribe to, or software we can get that filters this stuff?

Thanks,

Sendmail allows you to use the Realtime Blackhole List (RBL) that comes from the Mail Abuse Prevention System (MAPS). The RBL is a DNS database that contains the IP addresses of spam sources.
