[newbie] How do you stop people from using your server as a spam relay???

[Eric L. Damron]

It appears that some jerk may be trying to use 
my Linux server to relay mail. 

I don't know if he succeeded or not but I don't to take any 
chances. Short of killing all mail services how can I make using my Linux 
box as a relay VERY difficult?

Thanks.

Use the anti spam rules in sendmail. 

Please would you also set your line wrap in your editor or mailer
editor, your mail was all one line.


 Thanks.

First by turning OFF html. :-)
Second, type the following commands: "man ipchains" and
