Can anyone enlighten me on how I can Check Sender Information and reject mail from unresolvable domains?

from /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

dnl # We strongly recommend not accepting unresolvable domains if you want to

The only thing to consider is that with a default install of Scalix, sendmail does not accept the incoming mail, but gets handed the mail from scalix. I am using mailwasher, and as part of getting DNSBL working, I have configured sendmail to accept all incoming mail.
