Re: jails, cron and sendmail

The default configuration doesn't expose sendmail to the publicly
visible IP addres. The daemon it runs only listens for connections to
the localhost address.

Unfortunately, in jails, localhost gets remapped to the jail IP
address and therefore, he is correct, it is accepting connections
from the outside world. This is one thing that I would love to
see fixed in jails.
