In a filter file:
if $header_from: contains lsearch:/usr/snooping/supects.lst
then
freeze "this is a suspect email from a suspect user"
Then have your postmaster deal with all frozen emails. You might want to
make sure that you have a peice of coide that warns you when mail is
frozen, or checks every-so-often if there is frozen mail on the system.
If you want I have written a small and very Linux orianted monitor for
that. It as well gives you things like CPU and RAM percentage usage,
Disk IO, number of processes and many other usefull things like that.
It's alpha and works at Planet. However, I cann't justify the time and
effort to make a `real distribution'. It uses rrdtool for the graphs.
