When I upgraded to 4.5 I couldn't get the new Version 9 config file running so I continued to run my old sendmail.cf file. ################################################################### SENDMAIL CONFIGURATION FILE ##### built by root@usw4.freebsd.org on Thu Jul 27 02:51:24 GMT 2000 Now I use my BSD box as my firewall & gateway to my cable modem. My house LAN is behind it and I can mail between the boxes in the house and out to the world. Everything works fine currently. The problem is when fetchmail tries to download certain spams from my domain web hoster into my local LAN. Sendmail refuses it with a "SMTP error: 451 4.1.8 Sender domain must resolve" error and then all my incoming email gets wedged. Now I understand why sendmail wants to refuse the spam and I agree normally it would be the right thing to do. But my cable company conveniently blocks my sendmail and ftp ports unless I buy a commercial account. So my box can't become a relay. And SpamAssassin is laying in wait for the spam - so I want to let it in. But I scared to poke sendmail with a stick - so could some-one please in version 8 macro code show me what to add to my sendmail.cf to tell sendmail to pass the spam. And for future reference the version 9 m4 answer would be nice too. Thanks a bunch and email me if you need to see my current sendmail.cf. cheers gary Gary Stanny Tierra del Fuego Ltd. www.TDFltd.com stanny@TDFltd.com Financial Software 734-449-8306 (voice/fax) 7725 Shady Beach Dr Whitmore Lake, MI, 48189 USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
