I went ahead and tried your suggestion.  I
cross-referenced my /etc/mail/access file from my old
FC1 installation and entered all the relaying hosts I
saw there then used the makemap command.  Relaying is
still denied to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I don't have a
mail log per say, but I have the relevent log entries
from /var/log/messages:

Mar  2 12:42:01 bullet sm-mta[13086]: j22Ie8XY013086:
ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
relay=baby.espersunited.com [192.168.1.3], reject=550
5.7.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Relaying denied
Mar  2 12:42:01 bullet sm-mta[13086]: j22Ie8XY013086:
from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=0, class=0,
nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA,
relay=baby.espersunited.com [192.168.1.3]


Here are the contents of my /etc/mail/access file:

bullet log # cat /etc/mail/access
# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf file for
a description
# of the format of this file. (search for access_db in
that file)
# The /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf is part of the
sendmail-doc
# package.
#


espersunited.com                RELAY
localhost                       RELAY
localhost.localdomain           RELAY
baby.espersunited.com           RELAY
bullet.espersunited.com         RELAY
blossom.espersunited.com        RELAY
bubbles.espersunited.com        RELAY
127.0.0.1                       RELAY
192.168.1.1                     RELAY

I tried to send the test message after I updated
/etc/mail/access and ran makemap.  The output of
/var/log/messages seems to me to say that the first
attempt to relay the message was denied, but a second
attempt was successful, but I can't find the message
on the server box and it's still sitting in
evolution's Outbox...
