We are using a SuSE 70 machine as our corporate mail server. I need to
prevent a single IP address from being able to send mail through the server. What is the easiest way to do this?
I need a flexible and fast method that can be done anytime, ie, on the
fly when I am notified that an employee is being terminated.
Thanks, CC
