I’ve been getting a lot of bounce messages from Outlook viruses that forge my email
address. I came up with a simple procmail
recipe to get rid of them:
:0B: * ^From:.*bjepson@jepstone.net * ^X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook devnull
(devnull is the folder name I use to test out new recipes like this one;
it will eventually go to /dev/null when I’m sure it’s working right). This recipe
looks in the body (this is where the headers from the bounced email appear)
for my email address on the From: line, and Microsoft Outlook as the
mailer. You probably don’t want to use this recipe if you actually use Outlook (I
use either pine or Mac OS X Mail), since you will lose legitimate bounces.
