Re: HELP ON ACCESS FOR SENDMAIL
My mistake. I was looking in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail, not in /usr/src/etc/sendmail/. I never knew there was a freebsd.mc in that dir.

Re: HELP ON ACCESS FOR SENDMAIL
if you do a make in the etc/mail dir it uses the Makefile so yea it is equivalent to makemap access access and yes the access.db file gets update and NO it still does not work! the file is so simple I can't believe it is not working. actually the equivalent command in the Makefile is makemap hash access access for making the access.db file I have even remove the access db file and watch the new file get creeated. I can edit the sendmail.cf file and affect sendmails performance (after starting and stopping sendmail) but no effect with the access ability. the access file is LITERALLY [EMAIL PROTECTED] 550 goway 12.223.81 RELAY and it completely accepts the knitu stuff (opps typo the testuser@) is not in the access and it refuses to relay the 12.223.81 oops other typo it is 199.223.81 and they all resolve! also tim ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

thanks in advance
Just out of curiosity, is your sendmail compiled with the access option?
Does your sendmail.cf have any of the following lines (or similar):
# $Id: access_db.m4,v 8.15 1999/07/22 17:55:34 gshapiro Exp $ #
...
# access_db acceptance class
C{Accept}OK RELAY
...
# Access list database (for spam stomping)
Kaccess hash -o /etc/mail/access
If not, then you're probably not compiled to use the access.db file.

You can rebuild your sendmail.cf by adjusting the mc file. A good one (in my opinion) is the generic-bsd4.4.mc. By default, it has: divert(0)dnl VERSIONID(`$Id: generic-bsd4.4.mc,v 8.10 1999/02/07 07:26:02 gshapiro Exp $') OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl DOMAIN(generic)dnl MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl and doesn't include the access_db feature set. Without this feature, the access.db is ignored. So, add: FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -TTMPF /etc/mail/access') to it between the DOMAIN and MAILER entries and run make in that directory and it will create a generic-bsd4.4.cf file. Just copy that to your /etc/mail as sendmail.cf (backup your original first just in case) and it should do what you're needing. If you're using the stock sendmail in FreeBSD, the .mc's should be located in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/cf/ Hope it helps. -- Micheal Patterson Network Administration Cancer Care Network 405-733-2230 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: HELP ON ACCESS FOR SENDMAIL
nope it does not, it seems that I now have to learn the m4 compiler which I have never done before, I have tweaked by sendmail.cf substantially to get queues, timeouts lots of stuff working well and just like this I now have to do something like m4 m4.cf.stuff usethis.mc newsendmail.cf | diff presentsendmail.cf and find out what I have to add to my mc file so that in the future I can just run the m4 compiler to my mc file and twic tweak the mc file when I need to change stuff but to be able to find ALL the associated m4 c sorry mc commands that will result in the sendmail.cf file I have now is going to be a pain. I just wiSH! I could have the lines in the cf file I need to add to get this access.db working and hashed without this m4 compiler it seems to be just a big overhead for those few people who have to tweak rulesets but...that's life. You wouldn;t happen to know if there are a just a few lines I can add to my sendmail.cf file that will enable access.db?

Re: HELP ON ACCESS FOR SENDMAIL
I have found the stock mc file and generic bsd and have run m4 a couple of times to see the difference, since it IS substantial IGNORE MY LAST RAMBLING! I will also have to investigate using spews, rbl etc... thanks so very much for you info. I just wonder WHY! at sendmail.org they have all this good stuff and sections dedicated souly to access.db and it is about 10 sections earlier they mention using the feature access.db in the mc file but they also say one DOESNT hv have to use them4 compiler but in this case it looks like a MUST.

Not off the top of my head, but you could compile the freebsd.mc file, remove the access.db lines, re-compile it, and compare the versions. The diff should be the lines you need. -- Kirk Strauser pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
