Re: spam relay
i had a similar problem with my open relay (setup for the convenience of my own users) back in college. here was what i did: * FEATURE(access_db, hash -o /etc/mail/access) * FEATURE(rbl) I'm sure it's pretty outdated, so I went to sendmail.org and found: anti-relaying page: http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying.html anti-spam cfg control: http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti_spam.html hope this helps! /ayn On 0, Jan Voelker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, I think this is more freebsd related than just sendmail, but please forgive if I'm wrong, I have a server with virtual hosts using freebsd 4.0 and sendmail 8.9.3 and find the server domain user mail flooded with messages , definitely spam messages, that appear to be relayed by [EMAIL PROTECTED] I put [EMAIL PROTECTED] 550 in /etc/mail/access and did makemap, and this stops the emails.

Re: spam relay
I'm not familiar with sendmail but It doesn't look like a freebsd issue to me. Make sure that you're not being used for relay and you should setup some black list rules. I use postfix and it's pretty easy to setup the rules once you understand how it works. This is the link to make sure that you're not being used by spammers http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/ check out this link to see what you can do stop spam. http://imgate.meiway.com/index.cfm It talks about using it with Imail, but you can use it with anything. the program works great. I've been using it for couple of months and stopped over 3000 spam e-mails. - Original Message - From: Ben Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Jan Voelker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 7:15 PM Subject: Re: spam relay www.sendmail.org could be a good starting point if you're using sendmail.
