sendmail.cf

Dear All ,

I have Linux Red Hat 6.1 , and i have sendmail (8.11.6 ) .

i have big problem with spammers , i was looking in sendmail.cf configuration file and i saw this option , i tried it but it failed :

the option is :

# file containing known spammers by email,domain,ip
Kjunk hash -a@JUNK /etc/mail/deny

--------------------------------------------------------------------

i have this file /etc/mail/deny , and i put know spammers who always send me junk emails , but untill now i recived emails from them , after i add any line in this file ,, i stop/start sendmail .

but it is not working ... any idea plz

Setting up sendmail to fight spam requires more than simply editing the sendmail.cf file. Please see this discussion:

Also,

You should set up procmail
