    Question: Ever teletted to your MX machine and manually tried an
email transaction?  ...reading the name it answers with, as the sender?


220 sagitta.kamakiriad.local ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.5; Fri, 18 Jul
2003 00:32:04 -0500

I type:
HELO sagitta.kamakiriad.local  (Same as my MX's)

It says:
250 sagitta.kamakiriad.local Hello evv.kamakiriad.local [192.168.1.1],
pleased to meet you

    Am I missing a rule?  I'm on eth0 (from the outside) pretending to
be the machine, itself. And it still accepts it!

    I'm sure that some of the spam that comes through, uses this...
