 Yes.  Here's a quote:

Folks, we're losing sight of the OP's request. Re-read the subject line, and this quote from the OP:

Over the past months, our internal mail server has encountered some unknown _senders_ and we want to control them by validating the users that are in the passwd file

{emphasis mine}

The suggestion to use SMTP AUTH should mostly cover it. To be totally sure, the MTA should also be configured to not accept un-authenticated SMTP at all.

Is there a way to configure sendmail to also validate both the envelope sender and message From: header against the local passwd file?

Side note: this MTA would not be suitable for _inbound_ mail, obviously.

If this thread is morphing into a discussion of _recipient_ verification, please change the subject or start a new thread.
