Re: sendmail SMTP forwarding

[Jon Gaudette]

• Uses widely-used sendmail or Exim packages for reliable e-mail service
  — but no sendmail.cf changes required

This was taken right off of  the mailscanner site.  (http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/readme.shtml)

So, I don't think you are missing anything :)

I suggest you make the change to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc instead. 
Then run the M4 macro.  Making changes to the sendmail.mc file is a
LOT easier than trying to get them correct in the sendmail.cf file.
 This change is pretty simple but some of the sendmail rules are
next to impossible to do without the M4 macro.  If you ever need to
make any other changes then they will all be in one place.

Like I said previously, when you install an antivirus for sendmail, 
which you should if you are serving Windows clients, you will find 
that all instructions refer to the cf file only. So, learning a bit 
about it is useful after all.
    

Nonsense.  mailscanner requires no modifications to sendmail at all.  I've 
used it for almost one year first with Sophos and now with F-Prot.  No 
changes have been required of any sendmail files.

If I'm missing something then please correct me.
