[rt-users] Bounced email storms and RT 3.0.4?

[Joseph Spenner]

My yahoo mail is getting nuked with the "MS xxx yyy"
messages.  Fortunately I'm not using a virus friendly
OS, so I can just delete.  However, they still take up
a lot of space, when arriving at 3/minute.

My RT is not getting hit, but I simply added some of
those keywords to my SPAM filter program I wrote (I
posted about it last week).  If certain keywords are
matched, the message is dropped before it enters RT.
If you (or anyone) wants a copy, let me know and I'll
send you a copy.
