By configuring your sendmail not to be an open relay

Dont meddle with sendmail.cf - only use the sendmail.mc
Don't use linuxconf to configure sendmail.cf by the way ...

You sure about that?  The RSS uses about 14..15 tests.  There is another
(even more efficient) relaytester available at http://www.monkeys.com/mrt/ -
you might want to try that as well.

If the RSS says you have an open relay - you _do_ have an open relay, and
what's more, your server has been hijacked by a spammer and used to send out
spam.  That's clear, at any rate.

By closing your open relay and submitting it for a retest.  If the retest
says 'not an open relay' your IP will be removed.

> We are running sendmail 8.11

... which defaults to 'not an open relay' by default. 

Have you [for example] committed one of these common goofups -

1. Set FEATURE(`relay_local_from') so that <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or
whatever can send mail through your server?  

2. Or maybe From: tatainfotech.com      RELAY in access.db?

3. Set FEATURE(`promiscuos_relay')?

4. Configured sendmail with linuxconf so that it will relay for something
like bangpath / percentage pathing etc?
