Yes, sendmail_enable="YES" will do the job.
FreeBSD sendmail respects the TCP wrapper config file /etc/hosts.allow; you can limit access to sendmail there (look at "man 5 hosts_options").
Checkout /etc/mail/access, it allows you to control who is permitted to relay trough your server.
Well I discovered I think that if I don't use /etc/mail/access in fact I cannot send mail through the FBSD box. (I get "550 5.7.1 ... Relaying denied"). So I went an looked at /etc/mail and there is a access.sample but not a plain access file so I copied and edited access.sample to include a line ...
192.168.10.4 OK
... and rebooted but still I get the same error. On the system console I get a more verbose form of the same message but also "lost input channel from SS11232 [192.168.10.4] to MTA after rcpt" which doesn't sound too good to me.
Am I using the access file correctly here ? Am I right in thinking that I MUST use the access file or could I just ignore it ? Should I have renamed access.sample to access ?
Thanks again for your help so far and any other help would be welcome.
regards
richard.
