yes, I opened port 25 while keeping an eye on the /var/log/mail for invalid relay errors (my sendmail relay only localhost and internal network). I want to appreciate the amount of attack from spammers. :) also, I want to learn using sendmail to receive messages. Double check your firewall

The only problem I see with that is that effectively EVERYONE's mail gets routed through the sendmail system. Which will presumably be a cast-off box scrounged together for the test. If it dies, then everyone's mail is killed--not good for the demo. What about using fetchmail to pull
