I found it under /etc/mail but I don't see anything referring to adding lines to the headers. -----Original Message----- From: owner-kclug@marauder.illiana.net [mailto:owner-kclug@marauder.illiana.net] On Behalf Of Jonathan Hutchins Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 1:17 PM To: Mark Hutchings Cc: kclug@kclug.org Subject: Re: SendMail question.. Good answer. Do a search for sendmail.mc (find / -name sendmail.mc) - it's probably in /etc, but check to see if RedHat left extras lying around. Give it a good read-through, and you might come up with the right method - it's pretty well commented. Make a backup copy of the file before making any changes, then (as root) do: m4 .mc > /etc/sendmail.cf; /etc/init.d/sendmail reload Run some test messages to be sure it's working. I can't come up with the actual recipe right now and my reference book's at home, so if it doesn't shine out at you from the .mc file, try searching for sendmail at www.tldp.org and sucking up some of the HOWTOs. If you don't get anywhere, bug me and I'll look it up in the sendmail handbook for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Hutchings" > Because on one of my servers last week, I had a customer spamming all > over the > internet (over 1200 emails sent), and since my servers are colocated, > what I > think happened is someone did a lookup of the IP of the server and reported it > to the ISP where my servers are.
