How to block/bounce an email address?
I've got an email client on a 550 who's being harassed by email, and want to block a particular email address. I know I can blacklist an email address in spam assassin and have it auto-delete, but rather want it to bounce back to the harassing sender.
Is there a simple way of doing this?
If so, is it server wide or can I make it specific to a hosted domain on the 550?
thnx, Manny

Check out the /etc/mail/access list. You can block specific IPs in there like:
aemail4u.com 550 Go away no need for your spam here.
This blocks all email from the aemail4u.com spammers. It sends them a nice message in their error log...
After editing the access file, you will need to run:
makemap hash /etc/access</etc/access
Restart sendmail
