Check Headers with Rule Sets

Beginning with V8.10, sendmail provides the ability to screen selected headers with rule sets. This is described in detail in Rules Check Header Contents on page 1130. In this section, we show two more techniques for using header checks to reject spam messages:

  • Reject messages that have subjects which indicate that the message contains a virus.

  • Reject messages that have an illegally formed Received: header.
