Sendmail Error Message Lost input channel from to MTA after rcpt<\/p>\n

By adding the IP address or domain names of the rejected mail servers in the Access map, you can ignore this error message.
\nedit \/etc\/mail\/access<\/p>\n
x.x.x.x\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 OK<\/b>
\nfrom:mail.domain.com\u00a0 OK<\/b><\/p>\n
Or
\nBy disabling the delay check and DNSBL feature<\/b> in sendmail.mc file you can ignore this error message.<\/p>\n
FEATURE(delay_checks)dnl<\/p>\n
FEATURE(dnsbl, `relays.ordb.org’, `Rejected – see http:\/\/ordb.org\/’)dnl
\nFEATURE(dnsbl, `list.dsbl.org’, `Rejected – see http:\/\/dsbl.org\/’)dnl
\nFEATURE(dnsbl, `relays.visi.com’, `Rejected – see http:\/\/relays.visi.com\/’)dnl
\nFEATURE(dnsbl, `bl.spamcop.net’, `Rejected – see http:\/\/bl.spamcop.net\/’)dnl<\/p>\n
By using FEATURE(`delay_checks’) the rulesets check_mail and check_relay will not be called when a client connects or issues a MAIL command, respectively. Instead, those rulesets will be called by the check_rcpt ruleset; they will be skipped if a sender has been authenticated using a “trusted” mechanism, i.e., one that is defined via TRUST_AUTH_MECH(). If check_mail returns an error then the RCPT TO command will be rejected with that error. If it returns some other result starting with $# then check_relay will be skipped. If the sender address (or a part of it) is listed in the access map and it has a RHS of OK or RELAY, then check_relay will be skipped.
\nThis has an interesting side effect: if your domain is my.domain and you have<\/p>\n
my.domain RELAY<\/p>\n
in the access map, then any e-mail with a sender address of will not be rejected by check_relay even though it would match the hostname or IP address<\/b>. This allows spammers to get around DNS based blacklist by faking the sender address. To avoid this problem you have to use tagged entries:<\/p>\n
To:my.domain RELAY
\nConnect:my.domain RELAY<\/p>\n
