Re: Sendmail Relay.
you need an access database to create some exceptions allowing relaying:
create a file called /etc/mail/access with your favourite editor, put
something like the following in it:
example.com RELAY
host.example.org RELAY
anotherhost.example.net RELAY
172.16 RELAY
192.168.1 RELAY
wildcards are implicit in this file -- all 'example.com' hosts will be
allowed to relay, as will all hosts in the 172.16 network
then run:
makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access
and restart sendmail with:
/etc/init.d/sendmail reload
hopefully this should work for you... see how far it gets you.
