Hi all,

My ISP said my server is open relay and request me to disable the open relay.

Does any body how can I do it?

I am on Linux and using sendmail 8.9.3.

I went to webmin --> servers --> Sendmail Configuration --> Spam Control (access)

I see :

localhost.localdomain RELAY
localhost RELAY
127.0.0.1 RELAY

Is it mean my server is open relay? If yes, what should I add in order to disable it?

Thart seems to be fine. I don't know why they'd get you for an open relay.

try to just do

hostname RELAY
ip RELAY
127.0.0.1 RELAY

I never liked webmin all that much and would much rather edit the configs by hand.
