The entry in /etc/hosts.allow: sendmail : xx.xx.xx.xx : DENY and I even tried: ALL : ALL : DENY but still doesn't work, I installed sendmail from the port, and I also checked tcpwrapper support: --------------------------------------------------- # sendmail -d0.1 Version 8.12.1 Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SCANF TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG --------------------------------------------------- The /etc/mailer.conf also points to the port version. Any ideas on why it doesn't work!! P.S. I just added an entry on /etc/mail/access to reject emails from that IP but sendmail still need to fork.
