I certainly hope not. It's not a good idea to relay anything that passes through your machine's smtp ports. However, if you want anyone to be allowed to send mail using your sendmail setup, then add to your /etc/hosts.allow: sendmail: ALL: ALLOW and then generate your sendmail.cf once more with the promisquous_relay feature enabled. For more information on relaying in sendmail, take a look at /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README. - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
