I know this may NOT be the right place for this and perhaps someone can
refer me to a better site. but I have two issues


One I have just discoverd that the majordomo address owner-list
causes all sorts of trouble as people are aware of that basic
alias.  So I no reject all mail from anyone outside of our local
domain using the to address owner-list

they are forced to mail to a specified virtualuser table name
that then get processed via procmail and sent to majordomo.

I removed about 90% of all spam this way that was going to the 
moderator.  She can still get non-member submission as we have
a few posters who are not interested in getting the mailings
so I simple don't trap non-member submssion but my two questions are

can I set up sendmail to do the above in the cf file?

I just tried something very simple like
modify the access file (freebsd 4.4)
so that we 
12.15		RELAY
bill@spammer	550 go way spammer

and re did the hash with makemap  *(and with just the make using the makefile in /etc/mail on freebsd)

BUT it don't relay and it don't reject bill@spammer.

so my access database doesn't work!

Can anyone help.

Tim
