I'm trying to configure "sendmail 8.9.3" in FreeBSD3.2, and I'm a bit confused about just how to do a few things. The FreeBSD box is a gateway for a LAN ... permanent dialup modem connection to the net Firstly, "sendmail.cw" & "relay-domains" I understand that sendmail.cw is where you are supposed to list domain names that you want sendmail to accept mail for, so since I want bryden.apana.org.au to accept mail for all my LAN machines I made up a "sendmail.gw" file as follows +++++++++++++++++++++ bryden.apana.org.au oracle.apana.org.au dougy.apana.org.au roadrunner.apana.org.au jdy.apana.org.au matey.apana.org.au +++++++++++++++++++++ Furthermore I've been told that "relay-domains contains domain names of all machines you want to allow relaying for. You would probably list all your other machines here." I read that as meaning I should just list all local machines, so I made up a "relay-domains" file by copying the "sendmail.cw" file to "relay-domains" Secondly, I tried running the following makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access Got "No such file or directory", so I created a new empty file "/etc/mail/virtusertable" ... and ran that first thing again ..... this time I got a different response "/etc/mail/virtusertable.db: line 1: syntax error (leading space)" Looks like I've gotta put something in that "virtusertable" file but what ?? I ran "man virtusertable" but that just said "No manual entry for virtusertable" Looked back in "/etc/mail" and now there is a new file, "virtusertable.db", but it only contains a line of garbage OK .... would someone please tell me just what I haven't done correctly ??
