BTW. I have read somewhere, there might be problems with hostnames like pukruppa.net, since they would allow to relay all mails from .net ?!?
I'm trying to remember where this appears. I remember vaguely what you're referring to, and yes, it's a theoretical possibility if you combine a name like that with domain name based access controls. Aha!Found it. It's this item in the 'FEATURE' section of /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README
relay_entire_domain
This option allows any host in your domain as defined by
class {m} to use your server for relaying. Notice: make
sure that your domain is not just a top level domain,
e.g., com. This can happen if you give your host a name
like example.com instead of host.example.com.
So, unless you have an entry saying FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')
somewhere in your sendmail configuration, this will not hurt you.
Cheers,
Matthew
