Re: sendmail rejecting bad domains
Hello Gene:
I had the same problem. If you are using smail, in the /etc/smail/config
you can adjust the authentication for a specific IP addresses or subnets.
Thus your server receive e-mail from the location in question.
The line in question is smtp_hello_broken_allow
