Question about daily run output

2003-12-18 Thread samy lancher 
Hello,
I have freeBSD 4.5 server. I check daily run output sent by server everyday. I  
notice some change in the output from past few days. 
In Checking for rejected mail hosts: I see following output:
  14 miltnews.com
   1 ohhello.com
   1 OUTGOING25.myaccountemail.com
   1 OUTGOING121.asapemailaccount.com
This output changes everyday but there is always some thing or the other in this 
section. Till last week this section used be empty; but i starting getting these kind 
of messages from past few days. Is it some thing i need to worry about?,.
 
thanks in advance,
Naveen.

You have logs of mail server activity in
/var/log/maillog.  Quite often (though
*perhaps* not always) a look at the logs
will tell you why the mail was rejected.
Most likely, spammers with no reverse
DNS are being rejected, which is a default
Sendmail setting AFAIK.
