gurus, wizards et al:
my sincere aplogies if this issue is not related to firewalls at all, but
since I have seen great and knowledgeable people in here, and I am running
out of ideas, I decided to give it a try anyways...
I set up a server (Linux, Kernel 2.0.36) for being a central master mail
server... as such it has to handle the local mail, mail from clients (which
are part of the same IP series we handle) and virtual mail (you know...
account [EMAIL PROTECTED] has to be attached and receive mail from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... being us who manage the DNS for hisdomain.com). I went
trhoug www.sendmail.org, spamboy.xtn.net and other sites to put together a
sendmail.cf file that would take care of business. (BTW, I am using sendmail
8.9.3). After I did the suggested steps everything seemed to be working
well from inside... mails to the oustide were going well, mails to
virtual_domain accounts were working... mails from outside were working ...
not well at all: if the mails from the outside are directed to our main
domain (mydomain.com) everything works fine... but if it is directed to any
of our virtual_domain accounts, they get a reply that says:
'Remote host said: 551 we do not relay'
In other words, virtual_domain is my concern here... if the mail for a
virtual_domain originates within our network, everything is good... but if
it does not, I get the error I got above... and those virtual_domains have
to be reachable by all the world. FYI, I put info in the deny (well known
spammers) and ip_allow (our IP series) and left name_allow and relay_allow
empty... (I did put our virtual domain names into those two last files but
with no luck... so I left them empty again...)
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!!! (and my apologies again...)
