Mailscanner Gateway does not reject unknown users (more of asendmail question, I think) (Ken A)

[Carl Werner]

Hi,

 

Try the smf-sav milter for sendmail. In its configuration you add the
destination email server and it check if the user exists.

 

Regards

I have read a few places on the net that claim this has been well 

covered, but I cannot seem to find a configuration that works.

 

It either forwards all nonspam email on to my internal sendmail server, 

or it rejects the unknown user messages but then does not relay any 

email onto the internal email server.

 

If I list my domains in local-host-names, it does not relay any more 

email for those domains, period. If I don't list the domains there, it 

does not check incoming mail for a valid email address.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

mailertable

 

domain.tld esmtp:[mailhub.otherdomain.tld]

I checked, and my mailertable is already populated just like you suggest.
Here is a copy of my mailertable:

 

tubafor.com esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

imap.tubafor.com esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

smtpgw.tubafor.com esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

tmiforestproducts.com esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

tmiforestproducts.net esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

tmiforestproducts.org esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

tmiforestproducts.info esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

tmiforestproducts.biz esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

 

--- END /etc/mail/mailertable ---

 

 

So I must have something else not set correctly. Just to clarify, should I
have my local-host-names populated as well as mailertable, or just
mailertable? I'll check out all other sendmail files and see if I can come
up with anything. Most Internet forums suggest to put each email address in
the access file with a RELAY status. I hope this is not the only way to
accomplish this task. I'd have about a thousand to enter.

 

Thanks for the help.
