How do you alter sendmail to allow relaying and how do u know it works?

Thanks

Shalom Brian,

To allow relay:

add permitted relay hosts/ip to /etc/mail/access file

example

192.168.0.10 RELAY
supermail RELAY
spam.com REJECT 554 No spam allowed

Then you have to compile the access.db database based on a sendmail.mc file or the HP equivalent.

Two places to get the code.
