access db in sendmail 8.11/8.12
i've been tryin to solve this off and on for about a
year now and figure i should ask the list for advice.
ever since i started using sendmail 8.11 and more
recently started testing sendmail 8.12.1 i can't
get it to use the access database at all. the
sendmail.mc im using is here:
http://saratoga.linuxpowered.net/sendmail.mc
i put several things in my access file
From:yahoo.com REJECT
Connect:216.39.174.24 REJECT
To:MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS REJECT
ran make, restarted sendmail. and telnettted
to the mail server on port 25 and sent a mail
from my machine 216.39.174.24 (the mailserver
is saratoga.linuxpowered.net), addressed
it from test@yahoo.com and recipt to my
email address. so i put all 3 things that
should be blocked. and the mail is delivered.
no errors, nothing.
i stripped down my sendmail.mc some to see if
something else was causing problems but still
no go ..about the only difference is im using
cyrus for delivery. that shouldn't prevent
sendmail's access rules though ..
this works/worked fine in sendmail 8.9.3
(though i wasn't using cyrus at the time,
and 8.9.3 didn't have as many features
for the access_db).
running a woody install up to date as of
friday.
thanks!
nate
