This is probably a sendmail tweak and not anything to do with Neomail.. but I think I shall ask anyway. Any time somebody uses neomail to send an email, it sends it from localhost, and sendmail sees the relay as 127.0.0.1 as shown in the below log of an email sent with neomail: Jul 14 21:20:23 www sendmail[11069]: h6F4KNh1011069: [email protected], size=277, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=void@localhost Jul 14 21:20:23 www sendmail[11069]: h6F4KNh1011069: [email protected], [email protected] (500/500), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30236, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (h6F4KNbp011071 Message accepted for delivery) This is all fine, and I can just allow localhost to relay email, but recently Im noticing that some spam filters will see email with localhost in the headers and just nuke it, and Im starting to get a lot of spammers trying to relay junk through me and they are beginning to scare me with their attempts to spoof mail from me, to others, and let my mail server relay the fake bounce with localhost as the sender. = ( I want to add localhost back in to the /etc/mail/access as a REJECT. Is there a way for localy generated email to be identified as coming from my actual IP and not 127.0.0.1 ? Its probably in sendmail somewhere and Im just missing the right line... Thank in advance for advice, pointers, etc. -Nathan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
