1st thing, so sorry for the html format been sent to all of you, I've
changed the format to plaintext, :)...
Thanks for the advise...
I did followed your instructions, but it doesn't work as what expected..
As for more details on my linux system
OS: RH6.2 2.2.14-15.0
Mail server : sendmail-8.9.3-20
I got the following files in /etc/mail
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123 Feb 17 2000 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 358 Feb 12 10:57 access
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20480 Feb 12 11:03 access.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 7 18:07 deny

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 17 2000 virtusertable
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 12 10:59 virtusertable.db
I did vi access and addin then save and 'make'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 550 Spammer - mail rejected
(this shd reject all mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] account rite?)
btw, shd I use make or makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access, I
found it on internet???
Then, I tried to send email from this acc by using the configured smpt...but
the smpt server still help to relay the mail to the destination...
is it the different of sendmail version? or do I need to do the setting in
other place ???
Please advise and many thanks for all help...
best rdgs,
gary
