The SMTP protocol (go see RFC 821, from memory) is a text-based protocol
running over a TCP connection, just like FTP, HTTP and - surprise,
surprise! - telnet. What you are asking is analogous to, "Is there any way
to block cars from this private road, while still keeping it open to
cars?". . .

Re: Is this log error a a problem.
mmm.... how about if the ip's are included in /etc/hosts? (and your server
is configured to look first there) does this work for reverse too?
Cheers!

Re: Slightly OT (maybe?)
Hw do you have telnet and sendmail using port 25? Telnet usually runs on
23, so just disable the telnet service in inetd.conf or xinetd.conf.
If you mean the ability to telnet 25 when having a mailserver running, I
do not belive so.

Strange Sendmail Error
Hi again,
This is quite bizarre - I have been beavering away & thought I had
the OSX server just about right, but when I went to start sendmail just now
(only found out when I looked at the status of sendmail), I get the
following errors:
# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd
451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 72: fileclass: cannot open
'/etc/mail/local-host-names': World Writable Directory
451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 126: fileclass: cannot open
'/etc/mail/canonify-domains': World Writable Directory
I've tried setting the permissions via chmod go-w & chown to both
files & directories, but that hasn't helped. Can anybody suggest anything?
I've looked around the Sendmail site, but can't see anything much related
that's helped.
Bye for now, Terry Allen
