How is settin up SA going to hel. You'd have to end the recieving side
of the server and I'd had thought that SA works on the back end when the
message is being delivered.

I just ask everyone to have some patients. I'll know this down like I
always do as soon as I get home. I get mail spoofing my adress all the
time. These guys found a crack.

Ther should be a way to prevent sendmail from accepting false accounts
from wrong IP addresses. My machines allow email relay from the local
network. Maybe that is being somehow exploited if Ron is right.
