In that case, why not keep blocking with the NO-RELEY, and add the relay 
hosts to /etc/mail/relay-domains?

I'm not the person who had the problem, but I am at this moment downloading 
sendmail-8.11.6 and would like to know 2 things:

1) Those this sendmail have the default configuration described before?

2) One of the machines I'll update is and old RH which happens to have only 
one package of sendmail, and now there are 3 (the package, the -cf and the 
doc). Which are mandatory?

Saludos... :-)
