Ever hear the word "Firewall" ?
This is a device/solution that limits outside traffic to just certain things,
and might be a much better idea than tweaking sendmail.
Although, sendmail might be configurable in such a way. Perhaps someone
else would have the answer there. I know how to do it with a firewall
(which you can do with a Linux box)
