Hello all,
I am attempting to block an SMTP server with /etc/hosts.allow:
----------------------------------------------------------
Received: from 241net251.net.zeork.com.pl (241net251.net.zeork.com.pl
[194.117.241.251] (may be forged))
----------------------------------------------------------

[kadmin@archangel][~]
#ssh kadmin@elisha grep zeork /home/kadmin/spammers
.net.zeork.com.pl
[507] Tue 12.Sep.2006 20:56:55
[kadmin@archangel][~]
#ssh kadmin@elisha grep /home/kadmin/spammers /etc/hosts.allow
sendmail : /home/kadmin/spammers : deny
--------------------------------------------------------------
hosts_access(5) says this:
The access control language implements the following patterns:
* A string that begins with a `.' character. A host
name is matched if the last components of its name match the
specified pattern. For example, the pattern `.tue.nl' matches
the host name `wzv.win.tue.nl'
So, why does my server continue accepting SMTP connections from
"241net251.net.zeork.com.pl" ?
Thoughts, pointers, gentle kicks on the bum welcomed.

DaleCo, S.P.
