Hi,
I'm spending a lot of time reading the stuff at
sendmail.org. I've found all kinds of explanations of the
check_rcpt HACK, but no explanation as to where i put it. Does it
go in sendmail.cf somewhere? Where? Does it get listed in
sendmail.mc? But then how do i get the .m4 to relate to it?
sendmail! argh
Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. I suggest building your
sendmail.cf using M4. You mention the check_rcpt ruleset, which hints
that you are trying to block spam. If this be the case I would look
at this page:
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti-spam.html
It describes M4 features for blocking spam. These features utilize
the check_rcpt, check_relay, etc rulesets. When you generate your
sendmail.cf the rulesets will be created automatically and you can
then control their functionality via text or database files. I can
send you a copy of our M4 config for example. (Just let me know)
Hope this helps,
Dennis
