sendmail (Junk Mail)

[Robert Canary]

I didn't see that option as a configuration item.  Is that on a user 
level or site level?  I have been concentrating on site configuration 
and not reading much about the local user config.

I am currently reading on the militer stuff, trying to get a good grasp 
of what is happening in that arena, how do I control it, how do 
configure it, etc.

If I am understanding it correctly it is basically an external script 
that is feed an email and it should return "something"

Oh yes, I have the SPF module loading with the spamassassin from the 
config file.  However, it only tags the subject line as SPAM and doesn't 
prevent sendmail from excepting it.  I suppose I will have to do the SPF 
stuff with a milter ???????

Any suggestion of howto write a milter to reject a bad SPF, or is there 
already one out there?

I have to take a break from this a while, I need to figure out how to 
create an IPSec between a Linux box and a windows2000 server.  I'll come 
back to the spam issue in about hour.
