The user has not root-privilages on our machine of course. In the 'privacy flags' section of sendmail.cf, there is a definition Opgoaway,restrictqrun Remove restrictqrun to allow non-root users to start the queue processing. You might also like to rearrange the MXs. We are the 1st MX for our customers like this, and we have defined: # If we are the best MX for a host, try directly instead of generating # local config error. OwTrue That way a remote site will deliver straight to you, without trying the customer connection. You then send to your customer. Only works for 'hosts', so you need to get your customer to name their mail machine 'customer.com' as well as 'hostname.customer.com' in the DNS. Just put an A record in the DNS for 'customer.com'.
