I only have this problem on my company email-account. The problem here is that I don't have access to my company's mailserver configuration files, since I work for this company as a programmer, not as a systems-admin. I could add a blocking-rule in my Outlook-client, but that still causes 'unproffesional' mail (and images) to traverse our company network. The only way i can definitely prefend this is by desubscribing to the linux-crypto mailinglist with my company email-account, but I was hoping that the mailinglist server had some sort of spam-policy that prevented users like 'xm-editor' from spreading their spam by starting at the very base: block messages from this user to the maillinglist. I was wondering if this is at all possible for this maillinglist, and if so, if there is a (global?) maillinglist policy that encompasses this particular spam-incident. So, at my personal/private account, i have no 'real' problem, since my home-mailserver already blocks all messages from 'xm-editor'. It's more that i don't like my companies mail-admin coming to me and asking me what these 'nice' images are that i keep getting and that keep 'wasting' company bandwidth. It's kind of embarrasing, eventhough he (the mail-admin) knows that it's spam. regards, Menno Knol. -----Original Message----- From: Harmon Seaver [mailto:hseaver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 3:30 PM To: Menno Knol Cc: 'linux-crypto@xxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: irritating spam from xm-editor Yes, it's quite simple, just put them in your Procmail rc.kill file.
