[Mimedefang] relay_sender DISCARD

The reason I'm using filter_sender is to drop the mail (for certain
senders) before receiving all of the data. I don't want to use
sendmail's DISCARD option since I'm logging the senders dropped info in
a DB (and for that I need the mail to be passed to MD).
Like mentioned the REJECT option is working perfectly except I don't
necessarily want to send warnings to senders that their mail was
dropped.
Regards,
Ernst

If you're going to accept and silently discard the message anyway, you
might as well do it in filter_end:
sub filter_end {
if (should_discard_from($Sender)) {
return action_discard();
}
}
The other option, which is probably the most efficient of the lot, is to
put
this in your access db:
From:badsender at baddomain.net DISCARD
