Questions and Answers

In the previous issue, the CheckRcvd ruleset from the sendmail spam question had the following two lines:

R<?> $+ $| $+           $: $>LookUpDomain <$1> <?> <+ Connect> <$2>
R<?> <$+>               $: $>LookUpAddress <$1> <?> <+ Connect> <>
These should actually be:

R<?> $+ $| $+           $: $>LookUpDomain <$1> <?> <$2> <+ Connect>
R<?> <$+>               $: $>LookUpAddress <$1> <?> <> <+ Connect> 
Or if you're using sendmail 8.12 instead of 8.11:

R<?> $+ $| $+           $: $>D <$1> <?> <+ Connect> <$2>
R<?> <$+>               $: $>A <$1> <?> <+ Connect> <>
In the April issue there was a question about monitoring machine/room temperature. Two additional suggestions have come in from our readers. Bob Sigillito suggests a company called Sensatronics (http://senatronics.com/TempTrax/), and Craig Dupree additionally suggests buying do-it-yourself kits from QKits (http://www.qkits.com) for those people who are comfortable with soldering.

Q I'd like to add a disclaimer footer to every message that goes through our mail server. I'm sure that someone's managed to do this already, but I don't see anything in sendmail that seems workable.

A This problem is more difficult than it first seems because the mail server has to deal with more than just plain text messages. Tacking a footer onto something like a MIME message will break the message. By itself, sendmail is not really a solution, but you can use libmilter and something like MIMEDefang to add your footer to MIME structured messages.
