Can't exactly remember where I got this (Probably from the procmail list)
but it works, It is set up to read a file called .spammers and bounces
it. (The .spammers file is in $HOME/mail). Also see www.vix.com/spam for
good info on preventing spam. They have a good script for to include in
your sendmail.cf (actually, the sendmail.mc file that you use m4 on) that
will make sendmail automatically bouce domains and prevent your sendmail
from being a unsuspecting mail forwarder (bounces those bad boys too.)
