Relay in Sendmail!

[honey bee]

Hello!

I am using linuxconf to perform different settings on sendmail.I want to disable spams completely.Now,in my linuxconf in:

Config -> Networking -> Mail delivery system(sendmail) -> Basic -> Configure basic information

, we have tab "features".By default i have "Block open relay(ORDB)" selected and "Enable relay control (spammers)" is not selected.

Now i want to know do i have to select "Enable relay control (spammers)" also in order to completely block relay or is it already blocked?.

Why we use "Enable relay control (spammers)"?

Hi,

I wish I could help you, but it seems no on on this forum is really experienced on doing this.
If I were you, I'd subscribe and post to the lunxconf mailing list or the sendmail mailing list.

Thanks for the reply.I have also posted my question there and reply for my first question is:

Yes relaying is disabled by default.
