RE: [vps-mail] Editable .procmailrc or blacklist

["Jim Smith" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the response, Tim. What I was looking for in the iManager wasn't
the SA scoring but a straight blacklist entry. In other words, can the
client do something like click "View/Edit Mail Filters", click "Edit
blacklist", put in  "blacklist_subject *pharmacy" in the blacklist box and
it will trash all incoming emails with the word pharmacy in the subject?
