I'm running sendmail 8.12 and it seems to have a "MAIL FROM" test in it somewhere. Mail "FROM" is not an effective spam defense and I have it locked down otherwise, so I want to shut off the "MAIL FROM" test in sendmail. I have a client who sends out email alerts using the server and uses a random invalid return address for each alert. Sendmail is rejecting the messages based on the From field. I have their server's IP address in the relay-domains file, but it's ignoring that and rejecting the mail anyway. I've tried adding the address to the virtusertable db, aliases, and the access db as "RELAY" as "name+*" , and sendmail still rejects the messages. ANY ideas will be appreciated..... -- Steve Suhre steve@pasta.net 719.439.6052 Cell 719.632.2897 Home 719.634.8161 Work
