Thanks for the input.

Subject: Sendmail and Relay hosts



Here'e one for you....
Our web server has sendmail running on it. I have recently found that it is using our mail server as a relay host.
What should I do to stop relaying in Sendmail?


The wording of your post is hard to understand. If I try to read between the
lines... are you saying that someone is using your web server to relay
e-mail? If so, it could be that a spammer is using your web server by
calling a script to relay e-mail. A well known expliot is the formmail.cgi
script. If found - delete it -or- upgrade to the version that cannot be
exploited.

One more thing...
What is the motivation behind such an exploit? What is there to gain by this other than job security for a person like me?
This kind of action makes no sense to me.
