Re: Woody, Sendmail not adding X-Authentication warnings
I was looking specifically for the Xauthentication warning
that you get when the incomming HELO 'hostname' doesn't
match the reverse lookup for the incomming IP addresss.
Cowboy informed me that (the HELO warning) was not included
in the current build of sendmail. Also, that it probably
won't be included in future builds (most people are trying
to get rid of that particular warning anyway).
I use it to filter incomming HELO's that claim to be my
host. I'm probably going to create some rules in the
Local_check_mail ruleset to deny those connections outright
(which is a better solution anyway).
Also, regarding the 'nobodyreturn' option. I think it is
working and that I just wasn't testing it properly.
Thanks cowboy,
ken
