Hello everyone, I am using maildrop in my qmail system. I want to auto-reply or return the message to sender according to the spamc result in /etc/maildroprc. I read man page of maildrop, it says that it could do that. But how to do? I mean how should I write in /etc/maildroprc that could make maildrop do both works?

First things first, please don't send HTML formatted messages to mailing lists. Many people on the list may not be able to view it or may not wish to go through the effort to view it.

Second, what you are proposing to do is a BAD idea. Since the sender address on almost all spam (and viruses) is forged these days, bouncing or replying to the spam will, at best, wind up bouncing or, at worst, get sent to some third party. Even if the sender address is not forged, by replying to it you have just verified that your e-mail address is valid and active which will likely result in an increase in the spam that you receive. In short: DON'T DO IT.
