    Hi redhat-list,

    I have a quick sendmail question. A server sits between our internal
    mail server, and the external world that acts as a mail receiver and
    relay box. We do this using the mailertable file. So any mail for
    anything@mydomain.com gets forwarded to the internal mail server.

    An employee has been gone for over a year now, and I am seeing TONS of
    crap keep coming through for him, and the server is sending back out
    NDRs for each failed attempt.

    How can I block messages that come through for him, discarding them
    silently without sending NDRs?

    Thanks!
     - nick
