[TriLUG] AOL's new email policy

[Joseph Tate]

My makefile won't make sendmail.cf, but yes, it does everything else.


Attached is a handy script to allow you to add ip ranges to your 
access.db file:

in /etc/mail/access put '192.168.0/24    ERROR:550 "You suck spammer 
scum"' to block the entire subnet, etc.

You can add the file to the Makefile in /etc/mail to have it do the 
right thing there too.
