Well I discovered I think that if I don't use /etc/mail/access in fact I
cannot send mail through the FBSD box. (I get "550 5.7.1 ... Relaying
denied"). So I went an looked at /etc/mail and there is a access.sample
but not a plain access file so I copied and edited access.sample to
include a line ...

192.168.10.4 OK

... and rebooted but still I get the same error. On the system console I
get a more verbose form of the same message but also "lost input channel
from SS11232 [192.168.10.4] to MTA after rcpt" which doesn't sound too
good to me.

Am I using the access file correctly here ? Am I right in thinking that I
MUST use the access file or could I just ignore it ? Should I have
renamed access.sample to access ?

Thanks again for your help so far and any other help would be welcome.

regards

richard.
