I have freebsd 4.4 sendmail 8.12.6
when I modify access in etc/mail
to two simple lines
spammer.com 550 goaway
12.13.14RELAY
do a make
(*even tried init 6ing)
sendmail happily accepts mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and refused to relay from 12.13.14.*
it is like it
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
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
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
