No; that's what the ORDB people would do to add you to the blocklist :) All you need to do is edit your sendmail .mc file (FreeBSD likes to call it /etc/mail/$HOSTNAME.mc), add: FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.ordb.org', `"Mail from open relay rejected - see http://www.ordb.org/lookup/?host=" $&{client_addr}')dnl , regenerate your .cf file (if you're using the standard setup, just type "make"), and killall -HUP sendmail. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
