Open Relay Sendmail on 5.1A?

Sorry, if this got reposted, but had mail problems.

I installed 5.1A this past week and didn't do a lot of custom configuring,
but I discovered this morning numerous returned mail messages stem from
use of this machine as an open relay. Firstly I am a bit astonished that
5.1a ships with this feature turned on. In this day and age you would think
that you should have to take an overt action to turn it on!

In any event, I just killed the sendmail process, since I run smtp on
OpenVMS
and don't need it here, but for reference, how do I turn it off, so I won't
have this problem again when I reboot?

TIA
Tom
