I'm not that familiar with qmail, but I was under the impression it was an MTA like postfix or sendmail. I presume you intended to ask about procmail. Put this in your procmail.rc file before your cypherpunks rule: INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/kill.rc Insert in the new $PMDIR/kill.rc file something like this: :0: * ^From:.*?ravage@.*?ssz.com.* trash I suspect you don't have to include the last .* (don't recall). Do a search for procmail FAQs for far more details than you ever wanted. -Declan On Wed, Nov 07, 2001 at 12:46:58AM -0000, Dr. Evil wrote:

Ok, I have come to the conclusion that this list is unbearable without some filters. Can someone recomend what is the easiest way to drop email from certain posters, using the Qmail system? I just want something simple which won't require me to learn some new super-powerful filter ruleset description language. I just want to be able to say, "If it comes from ravage@... please discard."

Thanks

Declan suggests Procmail, if you want a powerful, flexible tool. Alternatively, many mail reader programs include filtering capabilities. /bin/mail didn't :-), but Eudora does, and probably most browser-based mail readers also do. So you're covered with Procmail on Unix, and client programs on Windows and Macs.
