RE: Hosts.Deny Question??

["Ferry van Steen" <ferry.van.steen@infopart.nl>]

1. Wrong mailinglist
2. Not enough info (what SMTP server are you running)
3. I don't know of any SMTP server that supports TCP Wrappers (which is
hosts.deny/allow)
4. Only option probably is running your smtp server from inetd and
running it in TCP Wrappers there
5. Why on earth would you want to block IP's to your mailserver
6. If you don't know how to turn off relaying go to your favorite SMTP
server's mailing list
7. You could always deny those IP's by firewall rules, which is, what
this mailinglist is all about.
8. Well uh, I'm out :-)

Kind regards,
