Also, if you are connecting from the internal side you can setup a hosts file on the sendmail box with your internal IP Address given a name. 192.168.1.3 two-proc_secure 192.168.1.4 jen2 etc...

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Need sendmail help
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.

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.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Need sendmail help
domain. It won't even let me send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems to think that espersunited.com is an outside domain. I searched on Google, but didn't find anything. I read through the README.cf in the sendmail docs directory, but it made no sense to me. I remember that I had the problem with relaying mail to external domains with Fedora Core 1, but I don't remember how I solved it. Can anyone help me out with this? Without anything from your /var/log/mail.log I'm venturing a guess... /etc/mail/access Example file: yourdomain.com RELAY yourotherdomain.com RELAY 192.168.0 RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY makemap hash access Hope that helps, Christopher Fisk -- BOFH Excuse #388: Bad user karma. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
