Access DB for RELAY

[svkadmin]

Hi Sendmail professionals !!

I want to be able to REJECT email from all domains not listed in access.db.
What entry should i put in the ACCESS for accompliche this behaviour.

I only want to recieve email from a few domains ??

spamdomain REJECT
or
spamdomain DISCARD

Depending on how taxed your box is, the DISCARD has a lower overhead because it does not need to invoke the mailer.

You will of course have to add the tld.
spamdomain.com
spammer.net

Hi RhinoKiller and thanx for your answer !!!

But i do not get it to work anyway. Sorry !!

I just want to recieve emails from a few companies and
all other i want the mailserver to reject.

So in my sendmail.cf i have the C{tls}VERIFY ENCR for ACCESS.DB.

In my access file i put in

mydomain.se OK
anotherdomain.se OK
spamdomain REJECT
spamdomain.com REJECT
spammer.net REJECT


and then i hash it with makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access

Though i have done this i am able to send mail from yahoo to my mailserver and that is not what i want. I just want to be able to get mail from mydomain.se and anotherdomain.se.

What is missing in the access-file ??

// Thanx and best regards

Check your syntax:
makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access - no good
makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access

Hi again RhinoKiller and thanx agin for your answer.

I tried to hash it together with your command but it does not work thoug.

It only works to reject a domain if i put the domain in the acces-file.
yahoo.com REJECT
It works and will reject all mail from yahoo.com, but i only want to allow mail from two domains and reject all others without having to put them into the access file. This is a AMTRIX system on an AIX platform. So i will not have that application to start processing SPAM .

Am i missing something in my .mc file. These are the entries.
# more /usr/samples/tcpip/sendmail/cf/poggen.mc
