OK Accept the mail message. RELAY Accept messages
OK Accept the mail message. RELAY Accept messages from this host or user even if they are not destined for our host; that is, accept messages for relaying to other hosts from this host. REJECT Reject the mail with a generic message. DISCARD Discard the message using the $#discard mailer. ### any text Return an error message using ### as the error code (which should be RFC-821 compliant) and any text as the message. An example /etc/mail/access might look like: friends@cybermail.com REJECT aol.com REJECT 207.46.131.30 REJECT postmaster@aol.com OK linux.org.au RELAY This example would reject any email received from friends@cybermail.com, any host in the domain aol.com and the host 207.46.131.30. The next rule would accept email from postmaster@aol.com despite the fact that the domain itself has a reject rule. The last rule allows relaying of mail from any host in the linux.org.au domain. To enable the access database feature, use the following declaration in your sendmail.mc file: FEATURE(access_db) The default definition builds the database using hash -o /etc/mail/access, which generates a simple hashed database from the plain text file. This is perfectly adequate in most installations. There are other options that you should consider if you intend to have a large access database. Consult the sendmail book or other sendmail documentation for details. Barring users from receiving mail If you have users or automated processes that send mail but will never need to receive it, it is sometimes useful to refuse to accept mail destined for them. This saves wasted disk-space storing mail that will never be read. The blacklist_recipients feature, when used in combination with the access_db feature, allows you to disable the receipt of mail for local users. To enable the feature, you add the following lines to your sendmail.mc file, if they’re not already there: FEATURE(access_db) FEATURE(blacklist_recipients) To disable receipt of mail for a local user, simply add his details into the access database. Usually you would use the ### entry style that would return a meaningful error message to the sender so they know why the mail is not
