This results in a -87 score. How can I guard against this, or change my honest-to-goodness mail from MAILER-DAEMON to read something else, like mymailer-daemon ??? Is there a setting in sendmail that I can change to allow me to blacklist [EMAIL PROTECTED] ???

I'd strongly suggest using a whitelist_from_rcvd instead of whitelist_from.


In general whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED] is *ALWAYS* a bad idea.... spammers constantly abuse this, as do viruses.

Whitelist_from_rcvd looks for both a From: header entry, and a server name located in a Received: header (with some added strictness that the server name must look like a RDNS lookup)..

In theory I can whitelist my work by doing:

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] xanadu.evi-inc.com

(you can look for some posts on this list by [EMAIL PROTECTED] to see what the headers look like and how the rule works).
