Hi,

I've been using maildrop for a long time in a system with huge mail traffic. Everything was fine till we decided to filter out all porn and spam material. We built a list of more than 600 address known to send spam material, and about same number of groups know to distribute adult stuff. I tried to get maildrop do the job using normal maildroprc filter, something like.

if ( /^From: .*spammer1.*/ || /^From: .*spammer2.*/ || ........... || /^(To|Cc): .*badgroup1.*/ || /^(To|Cc): .*badgroup2.*/ || ....... etc ) { exit }

This is working , but it makes the server's load avarage over 20 :) I don't know if maildrop can do this job in a better way , or is there any other software that I can use.

Thanks in advance for being helpfull.

Best regards
