I've now implemented a couple of procmail recipes that should filter out the vast majority of future copies, but still&#8212;they were coming in faster than I could download them with Eudora, so by the time I finished checking mail, several hundred to several thousand more copies of it would've arrived.<\/p>\n<p>I still haven't turned off the option to send mail to any address at my domains; that would work significantly better, but I'm a little reluctant to do it, 'cause of the variety of valid addresses I want to keep, and the number of domains, and the fact that one of the domains may be having unrelated mail issues and I don't want to complicate things, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>It's also tempting to go a step further and use the procmail recipe to throw out all mail that contains any executable attachment&#8212;since I'm on a Mac, no one ever has a legitimate reason to send me any of the standard Windows executable file formats, and I think in the past several years I've only received two such attachments in real mail.
