Hi all, I hope you'll forgive a sendmail question that's not FreeBSD specific - immediate application is for a Debian Linux system running sendmail 8.13 - but I assume it's most likely applicable to a similar FreeBSD system. We need to (re)create a number of user accounts for Samba to service a nest of windows boxes, but do not want these accounts to be able to send or receive email, rather restricting mail access to only a few accounts, on a box that runs DNS, apache2, mail, audio streaming (fwiw) and Samba access to various fileshares, including users' home directories. I figure we can deny each would-be email address using both From: and To: entries in /etc/mail/access, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way that doesn't involve creating such entries for each new account? (Please don't even mention LDAP) cheers, Ian
