Hello James, Hows things ? (I think I helped you out with a firewall problem awhile back...)
Anycase, I also get this and it doesn't help blocking hotmail.com, what if one of your clients send from there ? My solution is to block access from just that server. 99% of the servers that send these e-mails allow you to relay mail. Just check the last header in the e-mail, take the from IP address and put it in your /etc/mail/access file as the following : 1.2.3.4 550 Spammers arn't welcome. Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be removed after you fixed your server. Then rebuild your access file and restart sendmail. I don't know if you have to restart, but I normally do, just to check. Anything after the 550 will be logged into the mail servers log. When/If the admin sees this, hopefully he will do something about it. Hope this helps !
