Question : How to close an open relay on Sendmail?
|
|
Hi! I'm new to Sendmail and have installed version 8.12.5 on a Redhat 8 machine. It was installed using the RPM that came with RH. Everything functions fine (as in I send and receive mail) but when I run a test here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/ it says I have an open relay. The server I am testing is mail.tmallow.com. My files are as follows:
sendmail.cf commented out the line the line DaemonPortOptions=Port=127.0.0.1 so that Sendmail would listen on all devices
access has the line "192.168.0" to allow my network to send mail
relay-domains is empty
local-host-names has the line "tmallow.com" so that I accept mail for my domain.
As I stated I am new to sendmail so my asumptions about what these files do may be wrong. Thanks alot.

If relay-domains is empty and you have only 192.168.0" you do not have a open relay MTA. Do not trust this http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/
