To - all of you linux geniuses out there
As I've said before from prior postings, I'm a linux novice. However I'm faced with a challenge that requires an expert solution. I'm running sendmail 8.11.6 on a linux email server. We need to use some kind of email filter to block messages with certain attachments. Is there any way a linux ittiot like me can do this? If so what are the steps I need to take. With all I've read aboout not messing with sendmail I'm sure you can understand my apprehension. Thank you.
