I Am from physics department Bologna university in ITaly. I knwo some students here who was in aachen to study with Erasmus project... to fix your problem you can do this: verify that your rely host accepts you. maybe something changed in the configuration of the mail server you use as rely host and this host did not recognize you anymore as allowed client. SEcond install a new sendmail program the lastest version and build your sendmail.cf file with the m4 macro builder. Follow the instructions inside the sendmail packege. Anyway if u do not really need a relay host for e-mails then don't use a relay host. Myself at niversity I manage 2 sun workstations, and I Set them up to use a relay host only for incoming e-mails but I configured the two machines not to use a realy host for outgoing e-mails. good luck Rick On Fri, 4 Jun 1999, Christoph Kukulies wrote: > I was having trouble with the 3.1 sendmail.cf and > since I had a fine tuned anti relaying file before > I fell back to the old sendmail.cf. > > But somehow I was having different trouble with the > old sendmail.cf recently. > It began when I got rejected suddenly from a mailing list > where I appeared with my alias (CNAME) hostname. > > The mailing list admin person was so kind to change > my host name in the subscription.
