Damn, Thats a great idea...I need to use the hosts.allow file, as my default setting in deny is to deny all. But can I add a line like this to my sendmail section in .allow? SMTP:matthew@psychohorse.com ohno@psychohorse.com Or, would I need to do soemthing different? Or IP based only? I need to accept e-mails and to be able to send e-mails. The default sendmail configuration seems to be tightly locked (only send/recieve internally on the box). Matt -- "The only thing complex about Linux are the users themselves."

Joost, do you know if there is a way for the mail server to check if the IP address you are coming from matches the domain given?
AFAIK sendmail that comes with SuSE 7.0 and above are compiled with tcp wrappers library and if you use the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files properly you may stop unauthorized IP's connecting to your mail server
Also I have been using SuSE sendmail rpm (the one comes with 7.1) configured via yast and so far people tried relaying yet they all got the message "Sorry relaying not allowed" and I have not done anything special (ie. making my own senmail.cf manually)
