- Does anyone know how the average site can do this?
-
- I have a similar problem. My fixed price agreement with PSI says I can't pass
- "third party" email thru them. However, when I asked if they could filter it,
- the answer was NO. They put it in the contract, but then don't make it easy
- for you to comply. Fortunately I haven't noticed any traffic yet.
-
- I'm running the stock smail2.5/sendmail that came with my ISC Unix 3.01.
- I don't understand sendmail well enough to know if I could come up with a
- .cf change that would keep me from feeding third party email to PSI, and
- also would drop any third party email from PSI onto the floor.
-
- Lots of sites around me run smail3.1, and I'd eventually like to run that.
-
- So the question is simple:
-
- Can smail2.5/sendmail5.65 be configured this way?
- or
- Can smail3.1.28 be configured this way?
