shell script takes a file called .plonk which
contains a list of addresses that are sources of spam and produces
a file called .procmailrc-new which can be appended to the end of
your .procmailrc file.  The result is that any mail from those
addresses/domains will be bounced back to them with an error message
stating that delivery was refused.

I also append my own .plonk file, which is AOL's list of blocked sites
plus a few more.

The shell script was written by someone whose name escapes me--but I
remember that he was the main author of the 750-point Adventure game
that was written in PL-6 for the CP-6 operating system.  I've commented
out the parts that actually cause it to overwrite an existing .procmailrc
file.

The shell script:

---cut here---
#!/bin/bash
# rm -f .procmailrc-new
for foo in `cat .plonk` ; do
        echo ':0' >> .procmailrc-new
        echo "* ^From:.*$foo" >> .procmailrc-new
        echo '{' >> .procmailrc-new
        echo '  EXITCODE=77' >> .procmailrc-new
        echo '  :0' >> .procmailrc-new
        echo '  /dev/null' >> .procmailrc-new
        echo '}' >> .procmailrc-new
done
# ln -f .procmailrc .procmailrc-old
# ln -f .procmailrc-new .procmailrc
# rm -f .procmailrc-new
