Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know about .qmail files but the problem how to *drop* unwanted mails. I can check the mails against a sample.txt file and if match is found redirect it to ./Maildir/. But how to drop the mails otherwise? Also should i just check the From: field or is there anything else I should check for (against the database, maybe using egrep) Warm regards, -Payal -- "Visit GNU/Linux Success Stories" www.geocities.com/rpayal99 Guest-Book Section Updated.
