Prevent Subject Lines Starting with RE: or Re: from creating tickets

I won't to stop any emails with the Subject line of RE: <whatever> or Re:
<whatever> from creating tickets?
Is this something that can be done with sendmail or rtmailgate, while
still retaining the ability for users to create tickets via email?

Thanks,
Paul J

I'd probably just use procmail for that myself.

Thanks. After some googling, I implemented the following in my sendmail.cf
to silently discard the subject lines of my choice with out sending an
annoying reply message

LOCAL_RULESETS
F{FullSubjects} -o /etc/mail/subjects_full
F{PartSubjects} -o /etc/mail/subjects_part
HSubject: $>CheckSubject

SCheckSubject
R$={FullSubjects}$* $: REJECTSUBJECT
R$* $={PartSubjects} $* $: REJECTSUBJECT
R$* REJECTSUBJECT $* $#discard $: discard

Thanks,
Paul J
