Hi people,
I am running AIX.4.3.3.0 with SendMail 8.7.
I just found out that someone from the outside has been using my server to send out spam. I know that I have to disable the relaying agent for SendMail; but I am having difficulty figuring out how to!*&$.
Could someone please help me before my ISP disconnect and Black List me.

Thank you

PS: I have also set up a SonicWall firewall, but I need to open the SMTP port for Sending out.
 
You probably need an entry like this to this in your sendmail.cf file, the question is if your version of sendmail supports it:

# Hosts for which relaying is permitted ($=R)
FR-o /etc/mail/relay-domains

Create the relay-domains file and enter the domain names in there for which you will allow relaying. IBM Certified Confused - MQSeries
