But this problem did come up quite a bit over the last 6 months. You should be able to find the answer by searching the mailing list archives. One solution was to do a setuid on the mail.local delivery program, but that is a bad option. There is another way. Perhaps it was this rule that I added to my .mc file when building sendmail.cf. FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o /etc/mail/access')dnl Inside that file I then have these following lines... localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.01. RELAY The first one may actually be wrong, but it all works for me. You can also put in lines like this... FREE.STEALTH.MAILER@ 550 We don't accept mail from spammers spam.hotmail.com REJECT Those can be helpful to block specific spam host that you are aware of. But try to find a similar solution to this in the archives. It has been a while since I had to fix this problem.
