RE: [cobalt-users] Sendmail features

["Manny Tau" <mtau@xxxxxxx>]

The 550 does have a control panel for this.
I only added a block to usa.net in the control panel.

Then when I checked out access via SSH, it had:

# Cobalt Access Section Begin
usa.net	550 Mail rejected due to possible SPAM
66.159.211	RELAY
[main domain of 550]  RELAY

So I edited it to now look like:

# Cobalt Access Section Begin
usa.net	550 Mail rejected due to possible SPAM
66.159.211.[last quad digits of my IP]	RELAY
[main domain of 550]  RELAY

It seems as though the 550 automatically put in the 66.159.211 without the
last quad section...perhaps thinking there will be range of IP address
dedicated to the 550....if so, then perhaps an inherent vulnerability.

How did you enter that? Manually in access?

Probably.

Looks like it. Doesn't your email control panel have the field where you
enter that info so you don't have to edit access?
