Hi there. The easiest thing I believe would be to grab the 8.9.1 source. Compile and install. Making sure to use a new sendmail.cf file. This can be generated from the M4 (*.mc) files provided in the cf/cf directory. The thing about 8.9.1 is that it has anti-relaying (anti spam!) configured BY DEFAULT :-) Good luck Josh On 10-Nov-98 Mike wrote: >Please somebody help me! > >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.
