Hi,

I am using Sendmail AND Fetchmail (for a provider email box)
I have a list of spam, into /etc/mail/access.db

Do you think that Fetchmail can refer to this list ?
If so, is there any possibility that Fetchmail refer to this list ??

thanks

This newsgroup deals with sendmail, not Sendmail. You should post your
question in a newsgroup such as comp.mail.misc that deals with fetchmail.

Sendmail uses access db in SMTP session to reject mail messages *before*
taking over responsibility for message delivery so it is not "receiving"
sendmail duty to generate bounce messages.

In your case it is too late for such use but you can:
* make fetchmail use procmail as mda (see --mda option in man fetchmail)
* make procmail use spamassassin for spam detection (spam marking)
* make spamassassin use Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AccessDB plugin so
information "accumulated" in access db will be used for spam
detection/scoring by spamassassin
