The linuxconf selection "Mail delivery system / Anti-spam / Relay for by name" (or Relay to hosts) fails. It creates entries in the files /etc/mail/relay_allow and /etc/mail/name_allow. The version of sendmail shipped with 6.0 no longer uses these files. Instead entries must be created in /etc/mail/access and this file must be used to build the /etc/mail/access.db database. I suspect that it also fails for "relay for by IP" but I have not tested it. This is more serious than the spam filters designaation would suggest since it makes it impossible to use the system as a POP server.
This issue has been forwarded to a developer for further action.

I'm not sure how anything sendmail does could affect a pop-3 server?? But I have tested Linuxconf's "Relay for by name" and "Relay for by ip" and they both work for sending mail, and neither affect pop-3 either way. The versions I tested were: sendmail-8.9.3-15.i386.rpm linuxconf-1.16r10-1.i386.rpm If you are running a previous version of sendmail perhaps you should upgrade. The version of Linuxconf tested will be issued as an errata in the near future after further testing. I would suggest upgrading when it is available. ------- Email Received From John Franks <john@math.nwu.edu> 12/06/99 10:36 -------
Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore.
