Hi folks, just received a message from the "famous" :-) ORBS database claiming that our server is open for mail-relaying. Hmm, as far as I remeber, this was correct for the earlier versions and I was told (from SuSE I think, but not sure about this) that sendmail would be safe starting with SuSE6.0. Well, I did install SuSE6.0 and thought this would be ok now. I did some checks by myself and found out that the server is indeed still open for relays.
SuSE6.0 came with sendmail 8.8. No? If so it defaults to open relay. 8.9 fixed that.
