SUMMARY: sendmail on solaris 10 broken?

From: Gerard Henry <ghenry_at_cmi.univ-mrs.fr>

thanks to Michael Schulte:

Sendmail on Solaris 10 uses the tcpwrapper libraries.
You must add a line to /etc/hosts.allow for the machines that you want to 
   receive mail from.  I have the line
         sendmail: ALL
   to allow receipt from all sending machines.


i read this info some months ago, but completely forgot it. I don't understand why i got no result on google search, hope this mail will help people like me in the future
