Halo all,
I'm using RH6.2 and MTA Sendmail 8.9 in our Mail server. I've
observed that my server is relaying unsolicited mails. Pl. give me a
detailed procedure (configuring sendmail.cf)  to block or refuse the
relaying of unauthorised mails.

Upgrade your distro to redhat 8 would be my advice - RH 6.2 is old.

If you have to stick with RH 6.2 for some reason, then don't use linuxconf
to configure sendmail, and also upgrade both sendmail and sendmail.cf

http://www.mail-abuse.org/tsi/ar-fix.html#Sendmail should help you.
