sendmail dening access from a host

[Joseph Hoh]

I am running sendmail 8.9.3 on HP-UX 11.0. Is there a way to deny sendmail access for a certain ip address. I found some info on an older version of sendmail that had this option by creating a /etc/mail/DeniedIP file and uncomenting a line from the sendmail.cf file. However, the version I am currentlly running does not have this option. Any ideas.
Thanks.

Hi!!
Yes you can decide to/from which IP address you want to send/receive emails.
Read the file /usr/share/doc/sendmail8-9_delta.txt.
here is a little piece:
"The anti-spamming rulesets that were provided in sendmail-8.8.6 are not supported in sendmail-8.9.3. The files that were provided to specify the domain, hostanames, IP addresses of the spammers are no longer supported. (/etc/Mail/Spammer, /etc/Mail/SpamDomains, /etc/Mail/LocalIP, /etc/Mail/LocalNames, /etc/Mail/RelayTo, /etc/Mail/DeniedIP, /etc/Mail/DeniedNames). This has been replaced by the Access database provided. The default access database being /etc/mail/access.db.

good luck.
