As far as I understand it, the access file makes more fine-grained "decisions." That is, sendmail allows everything and the access file allows you to discriminate more precisely. Notice that the example has (something like) : spam.com REJECT . . . okay.spam.com OK So, if you only want to allow emails only from some.domain.com then you have to REJECT all other domains . . . good luck ;-) > thanks... > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
