Any idea how to get sendmail to honor TCP wappers (host.allow/deny) so it
immediately closes a connection before any sort of dialog occurs.

I have observed that if inetd see that a connection request is denied via
TCP wrappers, the connection is close immediately.

Sendmail will open a connection, send a banner message, respond to HELO
commands, but anything beyond that, i.e. MAIL RCPT etc. generate a 550
error.

I want no banner, no HELO, just a closed port.

Ideas?
