***** Important notes on sendmail 8.9.2 ****
1) Sendmail now always uses TCP wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny)
This is a change from prior versions where wrapper support was enabled
via sendmail.mc.
Please make sure you add the appropriate entry to the /etc/hosts.* file.
The most likely candidate is to place sendmail: all in /etc/hosts.allow
2) You should *really* read RELEASE_NOTES... There are *many* changes for
spam control.
A) Relaying is, by default, prohibitted
B) Mail from non-resolvable domains is, by default, prohibitted
**** Other information ****
This Debian package includes an automatic configuration utility
`sendmailconfig' which can be run at any time to modify the current sendmail
configuration.
Most mail-related configuration files are kept in the /etc/mail directory.
Specialized configurations can be accomplished by editing the file
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc by hand and then running `sendmailconfig' to generate
and use the appropriate corresponding sendmail.cf file. Such configurations
can make use of the m4 configuration macros kept in the
/usr/share/sendmail/sendmail.cf directory.
See also the other documentation in this directory.
Finally, the file /etc/aliases holds a text representation of the current mail
aliases. See the aliases(5) man page for more information. If you edit this
file, be sure to run `newaliases' to update the corresponding binary database.
