I am trying to close off my site to people who use it to relay spam. I have tried updating the sendmail.cf file and I have restarted sendmail but it does not help. The new rules don't do anything. Here is what I have done so far. I added the antispam rules from /etc/mail into my sendmail.cf. I uncommented the check_rcpt rule. I restarted sendmail. BOth sites on my list and off can still send email. The spammers are making me sick. I even rebooted the system. THose rules are never ever called. I have not upgraded to 8.9 yet, I am still on sendmail 8.8 which was delievered with 2.2.6. I really need a quick solution. I also need to allow a few people from off site to continue using email. What could cause the new rule not to do anything? I saw that somebody else had a similiar problem in the freebsd database, but nobody answered. PLEASE! I am about ready to shut my system down at night! Thanks, Mike P.S. Note this email is from compuserve. I have noticed people fishing out freebsd sites to attack or use for spam forwarding from the mailling list.
