Description rsimmons 2001-06-13 20:50:02 UTC 
The section in the jail(8) man page about making the host "jail friendly"
shouldn't tell people to stop using sendmail completely.  It should
include instructions on forcing sendmail to only answer on the host's IP
addresses.  The proper way to do this is:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Addr=10.10.10.1, Name=MTA')

Fix: 

Add something about this to the man page:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Addr=10.10.10.1, Name=MTA')
How-To-Repeat: man 8 jail

What about Postfix?  Or qmail?  Or NewMTAOfTheMonth?  Even though
sendmail(8) is in the base system, I think it's enough that the man
page says that it is possible to make sendmail listen on a sepecfic
address; and it does reference the sendmail(8) manual page.  I think
this is sufficient.  The configuration intricacies of the MTA are
beyond the scope of jail(8).

All IMO, of course.

This seems unnecessary; see audit trail (and silence from originator).
