Anybody know how to move from sendmail 8.8.8 to 8.9.3 as painless
as possible? 8.8.8 has some "features" that let it be used as
an open relay, while 8.9.3 fixes these.
More specifically, how do I *stop* this from working on 8.8.8:
>>> RSET
<<< 250 Reset state
>>> MAIL FROM:<spamtest at mail.server.name>
<<< 250 <spamtest at mail.server.name>... Sender ok
>>> RCPT TO:<"mrbill at mrbill.net">
<<< 250 <"mrbill at mrbill.net">... Recipient ok
>>> DATA
<<< 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
>>> (message body)
<<< 250 RAA22386 Message accepted for delivery
This shouldnt have let the message through, just because the sender
said his mail was from whatever at mail.server.hostname (it wasnt, it
was coming in through port 25).
Alternately, I need to know how to implement this, in 8.9.3:
# no relay anti spam stuff
F{RelayTo} /etc/mail/RelayTo
F{LocalIP} /etc/mail/LocalIP
You know, I really hate sysadmins who dont leave their .mc files around
for the next guy....
