[Mailman-Developers] sendmail

[Mentor Cana]

Is it possible to configure Postfix this way? That is: "to validate against
J. Random  connection coming in to port 25 from whereever in the world,
but if the connection comes from 127.0.0.1, we want it to just  basically
shut up and take the message."

thanks,
Mentor
