Dear list,
here is the summary of all responses to my question (please see original
posting
below):
There seems no way to reject SMTP relaying with sendmail versions below
8.8.8.
Therefore, the only solution seems to be updating sendmail to a recent
version.
I installed sendmail 8.10.0 an its up and running fine.
Thanks to all contributors (too many to mention here...)
(especially for telling me that itīs not only me who can not
read that funny cf - file :)

Dear all,
Since I am not an absolute Unix guru, I might have to apologize for the
simplictiy of this question....
We have a DEC Alpha Server running an old sendmail version (5.6.6). I need
to deny smtp relaying for all messages except those who go to local users on
this machine.
my Questions:
a) do I have to upgrade to the lastest sendmail version to do this ? (I know
it would be good to do so anyway, but the box goes out of operation soon, so
I dont want to twiggle around too much....
b) if it is possible with the old version, can anybody tell me how to do it
?
Thank you very much in advance.
regards,
Dieter
(by the way: can someone tell me how to learn reading that funny
sendmail.cf ? Is it so complicated, or am I so stupid? :)

best regards,
Dieter
