Yes; with procmail, or with your MTA's configuration. I think it's a really bad idea, however; how will mail "make it into your inbox on previous occasions" any longer? What about mailing lists? What if it's somebody at your ISP sending you notification that you must engage in some action or lose your account? Whitelisting is horribly complicated to get right, and if you get it wrong, it's guaranteed to bounce legitimate mail. -- Shawn McMahon | McMahon's Laws of Linux support: http://www.eiv.com | 1) There's more than one way to do it AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | 2) Somebody thinks your way is wrong
