just received a message from the "famous" :-) ORBS database claiming that our server is open for mail-relaying.
For those who don't know, you can find the ORBS database at: http://www.orbs.org/ You can run a relaying test against a mail server at: http://www.abuse.net/relay.html I don't know whether this is an exhaustive test, but I seemed to pass.
I did some checks by myself and found out that the server is indeed still open for relays. Did I forget some configuration details ? Or what else can I do to close mail-relaying ?
I have a later version of SuSE than you installed; you can get the benefits of the later versions by grabbing the *source* rpm from a later distro and issuing the following command: rpm --rebuild sendmail<version>.src.rpm -- _Deirdre * http://www.linuxcabal.net * http://www.deirdre.net "Mars has been a tough target" -- Peter G.
