Hi folks,
I just found out from my web hosting service that by default my dedicated RedHat Enterprise Linux server is setup with the Exim Mail Queue with relays OPEN. But I need to CLOSE them in order to prevent spammers from sending email thru my server.
I found a post on the web which partially answered the question and the solution was 3 lines of code.
Close open relay

To close the open relay run:
/scripts/fixrelayd
/etc/rc.d/init.d/antirelayd restart
service exim restart
The problem is the last line of code gave an error
That line was
service exim restart
but when I tried to run it from my SSH session I got a command not found error with service.
Anybody know what needs to be done to finish the sequence ?
