I know this isn't what you asked. Change to postfix?
Having said that, I found the FAQ pages on www.sendmail.org to be really helpful before I changed to postfix, and generally most problems were solved by beating my head against them for a wee while.

I though I had it right, but it obviously isn't. I have a rh7 box acting as a mail server. It sits behind another rh7 box running Clark Connect as a firewall. This box sits behind a nokia adsl modem connected to jetstream with paradise as the ISP. I have a domain mydomain.co.nz with a static IP address. port 25 is pinholed through to the mail server. Now that the domain & static IP address are up and running, mail can't be received. I get a message to say relaying not allowed. I gave the access_db feature enabled and the current access file looks like this: # Check the /usr/doc/sendmail-8.9.3/README.cf file for a description # of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file) # The /usr/doc/sendmail-8.9.3/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc # package. # # by default we allow relaying from localhost... localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY 192.168.1 RELAY # Entries from obsoleted /etc/mail/deny # Entries from obsoleted /etc/mail/relay_allow # Entries from obsoleted /etc/mail/ip_allow # Entries from obsoleted /etc/mail/name_allow the current sendmail.cf file is based on the following cat st1new.* include(`../m4/cf.m4') VERSIONID(`st1's setup testing delayed smtp delivery')dnl OSTYPE(`linux') FEATURE(access_db, hash -o /etc/mail/access)dnl FEATURE(nodns)dnl FEATURE(nocanonify) FEATURE(always_add_domain) FEATURE(local_procmail) define(`confDIAL_DELAY', `20s') define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS', `e') define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp:smtp.paradise.net.nz') MAILER(smtp) MAILER(procmail) I had previously tested the system by sending mail directly to the ip address from a windows mail client connected via a different ISP and it worked. Now mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets rejected. Can anyone advise what I need to do to get this working. ###################################################################### The contents of this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
