Does anyone out there knows any way to insert a filter program
in the sendmail daemon so that a piece of e-mail that meets
a certain criteria (such as addressed to an alias but not addressed
to the user directly) goes to a designated folder automatically, or
just be thrown away?
I am receiving a lot of junk e-mails through an alias that I am
forced to be a member of.  I am interested in have sendmail automatically
sort out these pices of junk e-mail.
I have a feeling that the same trick "vacation" program uses can be
used for this purpose and am wondering if anybody has already experienced
this.
Please address your reply directly to kuro@sun.com because I don't
check this news group so frequently.
Thank you in advance.
