freebsd not only ships WITHOUT anti-relay rules, but also sets
sendmail -bd as default.  Not exactly anti-spam tactics.


-jrp

out of the ten billion anti-spam sendmail rulesets, could we at
least find one ruleset to at least deny off-site relaying?  I mean its
the least we could do since sendmail is enabled by default [which is,
in my book, not such a good idea.]
