Procmail

Mail filtering / Spam Control

					
Procmail requires 3 additional files .procmailrc .mailboxlist .qmail
this procmail filter includes header checks, subject line checks, email
by xxx sites, a Rbl (real time blacklist) check to 6 differant blackhole
sites. I dont guarantee that it will catch all spam messages but it 
should stop much of it. this procmail filter will save suspected spam
messages to a new mailbox named "Mailbox.spam". you may either use imap
to read this new mailbox or use the webmail interface on the mail server.					
You may change the variable SPAMFOLDER=/dev/null to delete this messages
instead of saving it. there is a logging file that is created named maillog
it will contain a summary list of email messages received. you will need
to download this file and remove it from the server every so often.
