You really don't need a MX record for a host, though, unless you're redirecting mail sent to the host to another host for processing. > Now when I try to send mail to majordomo@x.sunnet.co.za my mail FreeBSd > mail server tells me that relaying is denied. Where are you sending the mail from? The 550 Relaying Denied error message occurs when a sendmail daemon receives a request to send mail TO a host it is not configured to relay TO, FROM a host it is not configured to relay FROM. In other words: 1) The recipient must be a local user (on the machine on which the sendmail process is running), or must be a user on a host (or in a domain) specified in the /etc/mail/relay-domains file, OR 2) The sender must be a local user (on the machine on which the sendmail process is running), or must be a user on a host (or in a domain) specified in the /etc/mail/relay-domains file. This changes a bit if you use the AccessDB feature, but most people don't.
