Hi
I am trying to set up ipchains to only allow sendmail to send/process/? mail which is sent from my local machine
127.0.0.1(The machine I am running sendmail on). Currently the default settings from Redhat 7.2 are
[snip]
:input ACCEPT
:forward ACCEPT
:output ACCEPT
-A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 25 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT
[snip]
in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains
which when I run ipchains --list gives me
ot@example.com root]# ipchains --list
[snip]
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
target prot opt source destination ports
ACCEPT udp ------ dns2.wakwak.com anywhere domain -> 1025:65535
ACCEPT udp ------ dns2.wakwak.com anywhere domain -> 1025:65535
ACCEPT udp ------ dns1.wakwak.com anywhere domain -> 1025:65535
ACCEPT tcp -y---- anywhere anywhere any -> smtp
[snip]
which to me looks a bit of a worry...I am not sure I like the "any-> smtp" part, does this mean at the moment anyone
can use my machine to send email? What I want to know is what do I need to do to both the /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file
and /etc/sendmail* files to make it so my sendmail program will only process "email send requests"(not sure of the
right term here) from my local machine 127.0.0.1
Cheers
Tony
