Re: [cobalt-users] Sendmail 8.9.3 and ORDB

["Mike's List" <mikelist@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks, this is probably much more simpler???

I have the following _ABOVE_ the mentioned lines...

######################################################################
###  check_relay -- check hostname/address on SMTP startup
######################################################################

SLocal_check_relay
Scheck_relay
R$*                     $: $1 $| $>"Local_check_relay" $1
R$* $| $* $| $#$*       $#$3
R$* $| $* $| $*         $@ $>"Basic_check_relay" $1 $| $2

SBasic_check_relay
# check for deferred delivery mode
R$*                     $: < ${deliveryMode} > $1
R< d > $*               $@ deferred
R< $* > $*              $: $2

R$+ $| $+               $: $>LookUpDomain < $1 > <?> < $2 >
R<?> < $+ >             $: $>LookUpAddress < $1 > <?> < $1 >
R<?> < $+ >             $: $1
R<OK> < $* >            $@ OK
R<RELAY> < $* >         $@ RELAY
R<REJECT> $*            $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 Access denied"
R<DISCARD> $*           $#discard $: discard
R<$+> $*                $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: $1


...so now just add the portion of
# SPAM CONTROL BEGINS ...to
# SPAM CONTROL ENDS ???

...do I still need the line  R$*<TAB><TAB>$: $&{client_addr} with what
I already have above?
