[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging

[Jonathan Adams]

okay, I worked with the global zone, using the standard sendmail.cf,
modified the props in smtp:sendmail to set config/local_only to false,
telnet'd in from a box on our internal network and there is no address
logging.

sendmail does log to syslog with "gethostbyaddr" errors (until I fixed
hosts), and /var/adm/messages has logs of unknown users, or messages about
"relaying denied", or to tell me I hadn't created aliases/access.db ... but
there is no successful "from= ... to=" messages anywhere.

can anyone else try this, and see if it's just something I'm doing?!?
