Also, if your machine is "freebie.admin.foo.com" and you want to relay for anything in *.foo.com, you'll need to make sure that you put foo.com in your $=m class, as in: Cm foo.com Nevertheless I agree with you and Dima that we should upgrade, and accept the spam inhibiting defaults. Peter Wemm has done a great job keeping up bind & sendmail for the FreeBSD project; let's wait a bit to see how he is doing (Jordan said he had taken ill.) He may have a direction in mind already... -Chris On Thu, 23 Jul 1998, Peter Hawkins wrote: > I would like to put in a bid for having antispam set by default.
