[cobalt-users] Relaying Problem - ORBS Complaint about Cube3 Sendmail Host

[Peter Frederick <pfred@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm new to this list so pardon any initial netiquette foulups!

I've scanned the archives briefly and couldn't see anything that directly
addresses my problem.

We have a Cube3 that we are using for email. 
We also have a SCO Unix 3.2.4 box running MMDF.

ORBS sent a complaint concerning a relay test that succeeded (where RCPT
TO:<orbs-relay%sombody.com@xxxxxxxxxxx> ) to our host running MMDF.

When I tested the Cube3 out I discovered that this configuration of
sendmail also has the problem:

<< From our host>>
[admin sbin]$ ./sendmail -dp
Version 8.10.2
 Compiled with: MAP_REGEX LOG MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND
                NETINET NETUNIX NEWDB QUEUE SASL SCANF SMTP USERDB XDEBUG

As far as I can tell Cobalt wouldn't want me changing the sendmail.cf file
(no write capability as admin though I can su to get root access).

Has anyone had this problem and what did they do to get around it?

Is there a FAQ somewhere I should look at regarding this whole topic (ie:
hardening the Cobalt Cube 3)?  Yes - I have seen and read the Howto on
e-mail relay and Email on the Raq3. It doesn't say it but I'd assume that
if the 'Relay Email from Hosts/Domains/IP Addresses' is empty that no
relaying should take place. 

I've downloaded and installed all available Cube 3 patches (including 6.2)


I originally posted this to the cobalt-security group after I signed up but
it hasn't appeared on the list, I have not received a digest - don't
understand how that group works! I got a message saying a non-member
couldn't post but I also received an email to welcome me as a member :*(

I will repost it here since I am receiving emails from this list.

Thanks in Advance
