Well, an indirect bit of help. 1st alternative: Get mailfilter (freshmeat, icewalker, etc), set that address as a known spammer's address, run it manually and let it delete it. End of problem. You can keep it around to use it again in the future if this should arise. 2nd alternative: have a client, any client, do a check directly to the ISP, receive it, destroy it, be done with it. I use number 1 repeatedly, and call it in a script run by cron to first delete, then download the remainder with fetchmail. -- Nice little planet you've got there. Shame if anything were to happen to it. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
