Cialug'ers,
I've both done a lot on this problem, and not near enough. Some idiots
in the world have decided to hijack my server as a Relay host for
Spam. I have only three entries in my /etc/mail/relay-domains listing,
and these entries are NOT the domain from which they accomplish this spoof.
I am using sendmail 8.13.1. Have not had a problem with this in the
past until recently. Apparently, I've relaxed my controls but I can't
understand how they can relay if I haven't enabled it. I thought 8.9
and above defaulted to relaying denied?
I'll keep digging but help is much appreciated. I'm getting hundreds
of messages about bounced mail and that is how I discovered them.
TIA,
Andrew L.
