Re: [PLUG] Mail Question


I am running 8.11.6 sendmail. Guess I should update. BUT...

I do have access.db installed and the appropriate commands in sendmail.cf
and I have defined the REJECT entries in access and made access.db BUT it
does not seem to work...

Access example -

man REJECT

sending mail locally to man still accepts it.

any ideas?
