You have to have changed more than just the sendmail.mc/cf to make a
default centos sendmail setup an open mail relay.
Your /etc/mail/access file is where things are defined as to what
you relay for. The /etc/mail/local-host-names effects what you
accept mail for.
Make certain that what you're using to test that's it's an open
relay is reporting things correctly. There's a difference between
sendmail being "open" (accepting mail from the outside) and an "open
relay". The former is expected from a mail server, the latter is a
problem.
I use:
<http://verify.abuse.net/cgi-bin/relaytest>
which runs through a range of tests. I tried it against your
24.123.23.170 mail server a few min. ago and all was fine.

Subject: close open relay
hi all, running centos 4.7 i686.
I seem to have an o pen r elay sendmail server.
How do I close it?
I have the STRAIGHT centos install sendmail.mc file.
Only thing I changed was:
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
so as to allow incoming email and not just localhost. however this
seems to relay everyone.
I looked at http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying but it just
talks about (AFIKT)
enabling specific relays to occur - not how to CLOSE the relaying.
How do I close the relay?
Jerry

from sbcglobal that I am spam.
