How do I configure sendmail on AIX 5.3 to only listen on localhost for incoming mail? I have a program that needs the sendmail daemon to be running to send out alerts, but I don't want any other machines to be able to connect to it.

sendmail.cf should have
#O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

and it will only listen on localhost.


Tony ... aka chgwhat

When in doubt,,, Power out...
