Or if you are good in perl, write a parser perl script that will extract the requisite information. AK |

You need to patch qmail-smtpd to have the sender's email address as well as the recipient addresses outputed into the log. Once you have those patches, you can then extract the information such as remote IP as well as the sender's and recipients' addresses. Once you build a pattern, you can implement/develope any and every approach to deal with spam. Have a look at spam assasin and there are several other options. AK |
