sendmail

[Steve Suhre]

Hope it's ok to ask a sendmail question here, I've exhausted the news 
groups and web....

I'm running sendmail 8.12 and it seems to have a "MAIL FROM" test in it 
somewhere. Mail "FROM" is not an effective spam defense and I have it 
locked down otherwise, so I want to shut off the "MAIL FROM" test in 
sendmail. I have a client who sends out email alerts using the server 
and uses a random invalid return address for each alert. Sendmail is 
rejecting the messages based on the From field. I have their server's IP 
address in the relay-domains file, but it's ignoring that and rejecting 
the mail anyway.

I've tried adding the address to the virtusertable db, aliases, and the 
access db as "RELAY" as "name+*" ,  and sendmail still rejects the messages.

ANY ideas will be appreciated.....
