Access file

[tchatzi]

Hello everyone,

Is there anything i can put in this file so i can reject everyone except whatever comes from localhost?
Something like

127.0. RELAY
10.0 RELAY
0.0.0.0 REJECT

is there such thing as this?

Thanks for your time

Adjust your sendmail so that it only listens on localhost instead of all interfaces. Edit your sendmail.mc and set the DAEMON_OPTIONS similar to this:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

Then rebuild your sendmail.cf with:
m4 < sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf

Then restart sendmail:
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart # for linux
make restart # for BSD

Couldn't have said it better but I think the m4 line should be:

m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf

This assumes you are in the same directory these two files are in other wise include the paths.

Thanks for your replies.
I did try this but no luck.
So i delete the access file and the access.db file and now it relays meails only from and to the lan.
Weird, isn't it?
