Dirk,

Sorry for the multiple mails all of a sudden.

I'm a little confused.

All i need is for this machine to act as a secondary mx,  which it is doing
for most of the mail coming in the domain.

I've currently got a line in the /etc/mail/alias stating the domain i want
it to accept.

However some of the mail is getting denied (i think because the anti relay
rules are a little too strict).

One remote machine can send mail to me, the other can't although both have
the exact delivery address.

This document
http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section4.html#4.14

Says that if i configure the dns (which i have) for the machine to act as a
secondary, that's all i have to do, except to modify the files which it
claims are located here:
http://www.sendmail.org/%7Eca/email/chk-89f.html#RELAYING

however this site is less than revealing for me.

If you've got any more ideas, i'd really appreciate the help.

Did you tell sendmail to use it?
In recent releases sendmail will use:

/etc/mail/relay-domains

$ grep relay-domains /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
FR-o /etc/mail/relay-domains

This class is for domains and IP's that are
allowed to use your server for _outgoing_ relay.

For _incoming_ relay add a route in
your mailertable.

kind regards Dirk
