I'm not sure if this is the problem or not, but do you have relaying setup in your /etc/mail/access file? This file contains the ip addresses of hosts that are allowed to relay mail through your server. Sendmail, by default, does not allow any relaying from outside hosts. Check out the documentation on this, but all you should have to put is: 10.0.0.1 RELAY <-- to allow relaying for this host 10.0.10 RELAY <-- to allow relaying for this subnet in your access file. Then do: makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access and it should work (provided that it is actually your problem :-) Damien Tougas. On Fri, Aug 20, 1999 at 10:00:00AM -0500, David B.
