Is there any mechanism whereby we can "bit-bucket" postings? I have a situation where I have purged an address for error messages but still receive error messages from that address from mail sent them over a month ago. Thought FILTER might do it, but not sure now after reading this. I was going to * Filter= also XXXXXXX . So if that won't get rid of it, what does it do? -HR- On Mon, 10 Jul 1995, Mike Ramundo wrote: > Dan - FILTER or SERVE-OFF does not bit-bucket postings/commands - it just > prevents AUTOMATIC processing.
