You should be able to do it with sendmail without any trouble. Depending
on what version of FreeBSD you're using and what version of sendmail you're
using this may differ, but these things work fine in a stable build of less
than a month ago:
In your sendmail.cf, there should be a line like this:
# Hosts for which relaying is permitted ($=R)
FR-o /etc/mail/relay-domains
Define that to be the file you want to list out who can relay.
Then, the file /etc/mail/relay-domains need be created. That file is a
simple list containing the domains which can relay. Example:
foo.bar.com
foo2.net
otherdomain.org
That should get you going. I believe you can also specify by IP addresses,
thereby allowing you to specify single IPs or ranges.
hope that helps,
John
