Did you rebuilt the sendmail.cf file?
Did you restart sendmail?
Yes, I re-ran sendmailconfig after making the change to the sendmail.mc
file, and
I ran "makemap" to update the access.db after changing the access file.
> And my access file contains:
>
> 127.0.0.1 RELAY
> 192.168.124 RELAY
> 192.168.120 RELAY
> somestrangeuser@ REJECT
> strangeperson@hotmail.com REJECT
> To:root@ REJECT
Why did you use "To:root@"? Should it not be "root@"?
You can use the tags "To:", "From:" or "Connect:" on the LHS of the access
map to limit the matching to envelope rcpt, envelope from or connection
info. See:
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-89-1.html
This is also covered in the latest bat book I think.
Anyway, I get the same problem even if I don't use the "To:" tag. For
example, if access contains:
127.0.0.1 RELAY
192.168.124 RELAY
192.168.120 RELAY
root@ REJECT
Then, after running makemap, I get:
# Connect to SMTP port
rsh@vmware-host:~$ telnet 192.168.124.1 25
Trying 192.168.124.1...
Connected to 192.168.124.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
