I'm behind my firewall at home so I dont need all of the extra special
SPAM powers that sendmail has added since ver 7.0.

All I want to do is RELAY may without any, and I mean any checks at
all.

I want a dumb mail RELAY client. How can I configure sendmail to stop
doing all of these extra terrestrial checks?

1st and I had to tell sendmail that it was OK to listen to eth0.
2nd .. now I'm stuck trying to get it to stop trying to resolve envelop
information. (getmxrr stuff) I want sendmail to just RELAY to the
smarter "Smart Relay" configured on the DS line.

OK... After reading alittle more I found the cure for my problem
above... #2

It appears that you have to enclose your IP address in brackets in
order for sendmail to use it. duhhhh...

syntax:
DS[xx.xx.xx.xx]

Then re-run your sendmail tests.

Have a look at cf/cf/clientproto.mc

And exactly what kind of firewall do you use that is capable of
filtering *spam* from E-mail messages?

I'm guessing: a block-smtp kind that all the spammers are on the other
side of?
