Re: Open relay in Sendmail

[Chris Hewitt <g0pae manordat demon co uk>]

Bernard,

The default sendmail.cf installed with sendmail in RedHat 7.2 only 
allows relaying from the local computer. If you have an open relay then 
I guess you have modified it.

The /etc/access file is the usual one to specify which computers may/may 
not relay through your computer.

If you want to post here exactly what setup you want and presently have, 
we can help more.
