Hi,
I'm a bit nervous here. Recently I've started getting 20-25 mails to my Postmaster account on my FreeBSD 4.8RC server running Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8 each day with a message to Postmaster that the mail could not be delivered.


In the daily run output from the server I see messages like these:

Mail in local queue:
/var/spool/mqueue (15 requests)
-----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient-----------
h5IGWCj5047460 4477 Wed Jun 18 18:44 MAILER-DAEMON
(Deferred: Connection refused by mobilemice.com.)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
h5HJ1xj4020111 4251 Tue Jun 17 21:03 MAILER-DAEMON
(Deferred: Connection refused by distanteye.com.)

h5HFHEj3015655 3298 Tue Jun 17 17:17 MAILER-DAEMON
(host map: lookup (triplepipe.com): deferred)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


I have no relations with these hosts.

In the maillog from the server I see this:

Jun 19 14:09:19 server sendmail[71128]: h5G21ij4070939: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=3+10:06:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=15062899, relay=distanteye.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by distanteye.com.

The mailq (/var/log/mqueue) contains 30 messages, both dfh* and qfh*.

I've manually configured my .mc file which looks like this (I'm running Procmail and Spamassassin):

divert(0)

dnl DNS based black hole lists
dnl --------------------------------
dnl DNS based black hole lists come and go on a regular basis
dnl so this file will not serve as a database of the available servers.
dnl For that, visit
dnl http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Abuse/Spam/Blacklists/

dnl Uncomment to activate Realtime Blackhole List
dnl information available at http://www.mail-abuse.com/
dnl NOTE: This is a subscription service as of July 31, 2001
dnl FEATURE(dnsbl)
dnl Alternatively, you can provide your own server and rejection message:
dnl FEATURE(dnsbl, `blackholes.mail-abuse.org', `"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " rejected, see http://mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/lookup?"; $&{client_add
r}')


dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately
dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server')

dnl Uncomment the first line to change the location of the default
dnl /etc/mail/local-host-names and comment out the second line.
dnl define(`confCW_FILE', `-o /etc/mail/sendmail.cw')
define(`confCW_FILE', `-o /etc/mail/local-host-names')

dnl Uncomment both of the following lines to listen on IPv6 as well as IPv4
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=IPv4, Family=inet')
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=IPv6, Family=inet6')

define(`confBIND_OPTS', `WorkAroundBrokenAAAA')
define(`confMAX_MIME_HEADER_LENGTH', `256/128')
define(`confNO_RCPT_ACTION', `add-to-undisclosed')
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,noexpn,novrfy')
FEATURE(local_procmail)
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)

If I try to telnet to my server from "somewhere" I get relaying denied so I think I've got it right, but somehow I have a feeling someone is getting through somehow. I'm running Apache, MySQL, PHP and other "webserver" related apps on the same machine.

Thanks for any help!
Andreas
