Hi, sorry I was burnt out from lack of sleep and beating my head against the wall :) I'm using the base system sendmail. I just put (as an example): sendmail : 127.0.0.1 : deny as the first line of /etc/hosts.allow, kill and restart sendmail (just in case) and do a telnet localhost 25 and it still connects: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 crusty.math.missouri.edu ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.11/8.12.11; Mon, 30 Aug 2004 09:35:29 -0500 (CDT) quit 221 2.0.0 crusty.math.missouri.edu closing connection Do I need anything special in sendmail.cf? I don't think I used to ... Can anyone confirm this on their system? Thanks!!! Rich
