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... --- Christopher Fisk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > domain.
