Hi,

This is my first post to the list.

A client of ours has a HP Netserver E50 running RH 6.1. There server is an
open relay.  I have looked on the web, and I have noticed that the best way
to fix the problem is to upgrade the O/S to a new version, however is there
anything one can do to stop the server from being an open relay without a
major upgrade of the O/S.

The have sendmail-8.9.3-15 installed.

I'm alarmed that their /etc/access file  is like the following

# Check the /usr/doc/sendmail-8.9.3/README.cf file for a description
# of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file)
# The /usr/doc/sendmail-8.9.3/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc
# package.
#
# by default we allow relaying from localhost...
localhost.localdomain           RELAY
localhost                       RELAY
127.0.0.1                       RELAY

Is the above the problem? - How can I fix it?

TIA
