Please see http://www.sendmail.org/documentation/configurationReadme The general rules are that the order should be: VERSIONID OSTYPE DOMAIN FEATURE local macro definitions MAILER LOCAL_CONFIG LOCAL_RULE_* LOCAL_RULESETS Regards Alexander ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] question on sendmail.mc file
Using a trap-all user may seem like a good method to prevent spammers from determining what user accounts are on a system, but will also trap legitimate mail sent to an incorrect address (e.g. via a typo on the username). I would only user a trap-all on an entire domain dedicated to the purpose. I have always found that there are better methods to decrease spamming (e.g. grey listing, greet pause, mimedefang). However, if you really need to you coud try define(`LUSER_RELAY',`local:someu...@your.domain') Remember too, that user MUST exist!

I don't know about all the specific details, but 'defines' have to appear before the features that use the values. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] question on sendmail.mc file
I tried to set in sendmail.mc file at the LAST line define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:unknownuser') dnl I did service sendmail restart and got an error on a completely different line. - as a thought I deleted that line and put it on line 2 of the sendmail.mc file. re-ran service sendmail restart and now it worked. I changed nothing else. Is there something special about the placement of this command??? Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
