Could you please elaborate more on the subject?
As I understood, all I have to do is to put
that .plonk file in my home directory and add
spamming domains in it and it's automatically 
filtered? Or do I have to execute this script
each time I add a new domain into .plonk?
I am not familiar with procmail.

Thank you,

John Smith
