Reply to mail from Dr H. T. Leung about unsolicited e-mail

being that we get about 1-5 of these a day now, utilising sendmail tools
such as RBL would help greatly, tossing in procmail to preprocess things
would help even more.

of course, blocking @aol.com is going to stop 99% of it.  it seems aol
exploded into spam central again recently.  i'm very close to applying a
corporate blackhole list locally AND TO RBL, AGAINST AOL if aol doesn't
take steps to make spamming from them less lucrative.
