To get relaying working from specific domains to any domain you need to edit the file /etc/mail/access EXAMPLE: foo.bar.com RELAY foo2.net RELAY otherdomain.org RELAY Then type "make" in /etc/mail to rebuild your databases. That's the only file i modified in Sendmail 8.11.1 to get relaying from my home puter and my lappy. --- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Jason P.
