As the title is requesting, I have a small question about Sendmail.
Currently my sendmail box is working very well, thanks, but I have to go and manually add a person to the RELAY OK list in /etc/mail/relay-domains, and in /etc/mail/access, then do makemap. This is fine for my needs, as I know which domains and IPs for which I want to allow relaying.
In the upcoming months, however, I need to be able to go to a customer's site, for example, or have mobile customers be able to relay mail from any given IP address or domain. (Virtual hosting is in the plan, too.) This means I no longer want to manually add hosts, ips, domains, etc to my config files.
Is it reasonably safe to enable promiscuous relaying, and rely on SMTP-AUTH with TLS? I think I should be ok, but you guys are the experts...
P.S. - I am very security concious, so all comments regarding security (SPAM!) are welcomed.
Thanks!
