I thought To: checks would work on outgoing mail, but it looks like that's not the case. From http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#blacklist_recipients : blacklist_recipients Turns on the ability to block incoming mail for certain recipient usernames, hostnames, or addresses. For example, you can block incoming mail to user nobody, host foo.mydomain.com, or guest@bar.mydomain.com. These specifications are put in the access db as described in the Anti-Spam Configuration Control section later in this document. > any ideas? Try posting your question to the comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup; search the archives at http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.sendmail first, though. Someone must have wanted to do what you're trying before. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
