OK - well I guess that my next question is "what changes did you make to Sendmail after installation" I just 2 days ago built another mailserver for a customer using a generic FreeBSD 4.3 release install and the out-of-the-box sendmail, and that one did not permit relaying. In fact it didn't even allow relaying from hosts in it's own domain, out of the box. I had to put in the internal subnet into the access file to get it to relay. One thing that I will say is that I didn't mess with relay-domains, I've tried using that with other systems and I don't think that it works right, or at least it doesen't work like you think. I've always just used the access file to control relaying.
