is there a way to change the order in which sendmail checks incoming messages ?
I see an incoming mail from something@blah.work for a user that doesn't exist, .work
is set to deny in access, the user
is not valid,but sendmail rejects it temp with
reject=451 4.1.8 Possibly forged hostname for (ip)
is set to deny in access, the user
"set" how?
let us know whether you use FEATURE(delay_checks)
work REJECT
FEATURE(delay_checks) is not set in my m4.
still, the final recipient $user@spitzner.org does not exist...

reason for asking is:

is not valid,but sendmail rejects it temp with
reject=451 4.1.8 Possibly forged hostname for (ip)
so they just keep trying until it gets to a 551.....
Why don't you use a milter, eg. mailfromd?
You can do much more and a lot easier.
