Sendmail

[Mark Kildoo]

All,
I have been requested to stop a previous unix originated e-mail from being sent by sendmail. The e-mail address is no longer valid. The address is "hard coded" in numerous scripts. Is there a way to block this/any e-mail address via sendmail????

depending on what version of sendmail you are running. If you have not upgraded and running 11.0 most likely you are still runnging . 8.8.6 ..
you can check this by doing
#sendmail -bs
if this is the case to go /etc/mail
vi sendmail.cf
find the section that starts with
## BEGIN anti-spamming
and here you have all your rules of what to block. you might want to use the spammer feature. and uncomment
F{Spammer} /etc/mail/Spammer
then you have to create a
Spammer file (make sure it is a capitol S ).. just vi it and put the address you want to block. restart sendmail and there you go ..

Here is a link for spamming on 8.9.3

We, too, need to block mail going to an outside address, but we are running sendmail 8.9.3. The file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf on our version doesn't seem to have any reference to spamming at all. The link Richard listed for the 8.9.3 release doesn't return a page. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Thanks
