Hello Howard,
1) Check /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and look for line that looks similar
or identical to this:
Kaccess hash -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access
If it is enabled, one can conclude the following:
a) Access list uses HASH database;
b) Access list in in /etc/mail/access file;
2) So, edit /etc/mail/access (or as I often rename it:
/etc/mail/access.txt) and add:
192.168.33.66 OK
If you not only want to allow this unresolvable IP address to
send email to your domain, but relay through you too (to send
messages to other domains THROUGH your gateway):
192.168.33.66 RELAY
3) Rebuild the hashed database:
cd /etc/mail
makemap hash access <access.txt
That is all. Stay happy and be at peace with computers and people.
