The problem here is that there will be no retries for failures and failed
mail will stay queued.
A better solution is to run sendmail without the "-bd" as such:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q1m
This way it works the queues but does not accept connections on port 25.
This assumes you only want to send mail and not receive.

smtp runs on port 25. You do not need sendmail running to send mail out of
a box. Once you stop sendmail, telnet to port 25 will be closed.

Can someone point me in the write direction as to how I would easily
disallow telnet to port 25, but still allow telnet to port 23?
I.e. I don't want to be able to telnet to port 25 and send mail, but I
still want to run sendmail, and allow telnet… or am I looking at this
wrong? Thanks.
