I am running sendmail 8.8.8

In a default configuration, you're vulnerable to being used as a relay.
Check out <http://maps.vix.com/tsi/> for information on how to prevent

Sorry for the naive, possibly FAQ.

I don't remember seeing this asked here before, probably because it has
nothing to do with procmail.
