[plug] sendmail

[Paul Dean]

Hya,

Relaying is done from /etc/mail/access in the format --
localhost.localdomain           RELAY
localhost                       RELAY
127.0.0.1                       RELAY
your.ip.			RELAY
your.domain.name		RELAY

Then run 'make' in that directory, or restart sendmail.
this line needs to be commented out by adding a 'dnl 'before it so you
can sendmail in your network like --
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

You also need to add to your /etc/hosts.allow file sendmail:ALL as
sendmail now uses tcpwrappers, don't forget to add ALL:ALL to you
/etc/hosts.deny for a good security solution to stop DoS on portmap
services.

Hope this helps.
