Sendmail configuration question?

Sudeesh — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 08:44:21 GMT

Can I configure sendmail.cf on a unix box to allow sending email to only specific users?

Sendmail 8.9.3.1
HP-UX 11.00

Thanks in advance for any help.

you don't have to run sendmail daemon to send e-mail from that server.

Don't think you can do that way to send out e-mails only to particular users. You may have to write put all users information in /etc/aliases file and run newaliases command to update it.

Shalom,

That sendmail version should not be used to accept mail. vi /etc/rc.config.d/sendmail

Make sure its set to zero so it does not start.

Put a DShostnameofmailservertorelay

in sendmail.cf to relay mail via another host. That host must be configured to allow relay and it will not permit relay by default.

The access database allows flexible control over sending and receiving mail. If you want to use it, you should consider moving to a more current version of sendmail. 8.13.3 is the current version for hp-ux.
