Blocking Spam - The access File
	The access file is similar to The spammers File, but offers more options and flexibility. For example, with the access file you can: Reject e-mail (e.g. Spam) from specific users, domains, IP addresses, and networks. Specify the text (or use sendmail's default) of messages to return to senders of rejected e-mail. Accept e-mail from specific users within a domain, while rejecting e-mail from all other senders in the domain. Reject e-mail sent to specific local users. There are also a number of other features of the access file, which are documented in the ~/usr/local/sendmail/cf/README file.
	Installation
	The access file functions can be installed by modifying your sendmail configuration file (~/etc/sendmail.cf). You can do this by using the sendmail M4 macros, which include ready-to-use configuration files with the full anti-spam support. Connect to your Virtual Server via Telnet or SSH and do the following. Install the sendmail Configuration Utilities. Copy your current ~/etc/sendmail.cf file to a backup location by running the following command: % cp ~/etc/sendmail.cf ~/etc/sendmail.cf.save Install the new anti-spam sendmail configuration file that is approprate for your Virtual Server O/S. FreeBSD % cp ~/usr/local/sendmail/cf/cf/default-spamfilters.cf ~/etc/sendmail.cf Solaris % cp ~/usr/local/sendmail/cf/cf/default-spamfilters-sun.cf ~/etc/sendmail.cf NOTE: The anti-spam rules require an ACL account with www.mail-abuse.org in order to function. To learn more about getting an ACL account, go to MAPS Fee Structure page. Create a file named local-host-names, if it doesn't exist already, in your ~/etc directory on your Virtual Server. In this file, list all the domains on the Virtual Server that are allowed to recieve e-mail locally. The list should be one domain per line. Previously, these domains were listed on the Cw line of the sendmail configuration file.
	Usage
	Create or upload an ~/etc/access text file with the format described in the documentation in the ~/usr/local/sendmail/cf/README file. Then, issue the vnewaccess command: % vnewaccess
