RE: [cobalt-security] /etc/mail/access file being ignored



Title: Message
Turns out our sendmail binary had been compromised.  It was ignoring the access file and pop-before-relay requirements.  A reinstall fixed the symptoms, but we're still looking to determine what happened.
 
Plus a kudos to RaQ Aid who assisted us.

One interesting note, when they would connect to our sendmail it would see their IP, but they were identifying themselves with a server name that was our IP address.  Still not sure how they were pulling off the relay, as their IP was not in popip.db.  Doesn't poprelayd only look at /var/log/maillog?

Do you have any old formmail scripts on the server? Or any scripts based on formmail (such as yform)?
