One of my mail servers runs sendmail and some extra security features are implemented in the Local_check_relay ruleset---in particualr it only allows a small list of IP addresses to connect.
There are also a few other Local_check_* rulesets which are non-standard and do things like tweaking the relay restrictions and providing additional resistance to thrid party relaying. I can put the rulesets Local_check_* rulesets in the LOCAL_RULESETS in sendmail.mc and delete the blank ones make sendmail.cf generates manually but this is suboptimal. Is there a way of writing the sendmail.mc file so the extra rules in the Local_check_* rulesets appear. I read the m4 source and saw items for handling LOCAL_RULE_0 and LOCAL_RULE_3 (both of which I use for some special effects) but nothign similar appears where the blank Local_check_* rulsets are defined. I have my doubts about the ability of postfix and exim to handle everythign required. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
