Someone's maps are bogus for node icus. I never published a map with
attmail being one of the sites I forward mail to. AT&T Mail is a premium
service that I pay for. It costs for *EACH* electronic mail message to
be sent (costs vary according to length). In the last two weeks I have
received 15 different people trying to mail letters to people through
AT&T Mail (node attmail).
I caught this after the fact and turned the "Any" status in the Systems
file for attmail to "Never". Now I have to physically turn it to Any
and mail anything I want at that time. This will stop the ON DEMAND status
for mail to attmail that I do not want to be forwarded (ie. ALL FOREIGN MAIL).
I am going to cancel the jobs when I see them, and you will not be notified
of this. I would suggest finding someone willing to front the $0.80+ for
each message being sent, or subscribing for $30.00.
The following people have tried to use icus as a valid mailer, your mail
has been cancelled and not returned:
May 3 14:47 sbcs!sunybcs!rutgers!aramis.rutgers.edu!pleasant
-> attmail!lzwa!mlr
May 3 14:47 sbcs!sunybcs!rutgers!aramis.rutgers.edu!pleasant
-> attmail!ddejager
May 5 01:02 sbcs!sunybcs!rutgers!hplabs!csun!polyslo!kquiros
-> attmail!rbunge
May 5 05:03 pacbell!scrms0!ejnihill
-> attmail!dfeith
May 5 18:40 sbcs!sunybcs!rutgers!bellcore!nyquist!sok
-> attmail!curry
If you want to send to AT&T Mail, be very sure that the node you send it
through allows this traffic.
Has anyone patched smail2.5 to bounce back mail that you don't want to
be forwarded. I only want LOCAL mail created at this site to go to attmail,
anything foreign I want to be returned to the user.
Thank you,

You should have a private and public map. But the maps only control what the automatic routers will do. There would still be nothing to prevent neighoring sites from using bang paths to force the routing (not to imply that anyone would do such a thing). This problem is likely to become serious as more commercial services are available for uucp connections. Does sendmail allow forwarding rules to depend on the sender? Les Mikesell

Not in the sendmail.cf file, but the sendmail documentation does discuss a checkcompat() routine that can be used for this. I've never tried it, but it's documented (in the context of restricting recipients, not senders) and could probably be used. -- James R.
