Re: [cobalt-users] how to filter out (some) Spam?

["Jim Scott" <cobaltlist@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you know the IP address you want to block email from you can add it to
the blacklist in your email preferences on the RaQ server.

Or you can go into /etc/mail/access and add directly

Make sure if you add it to /etc/mail/access that you do a

makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access

For instance if you wanted to prevent an IP from sending to your server you
would add someting like this.

192.168.1.2    550    Email denied

Replace obviously the IP above with the IP you want to deny.

I would also suggest you add RBL to your setup. You would make modifications
to your sendmail.cf file to use these.

You can find out how to at http://www.mail-abuse.org

If you need more assistance let me know.
