HPUX Sendmail SMTP and Relaying

[Russell Gann_2]

I have set my /etc/mail/access file to allow RELAY from my Window's hosts. I can send mail out that authenticates to mydomain.com, but if I try to sendmail out as someuser@somedomain.com (that doesn't match my local domain), it denies the relay. How can I change this? I want to allow all outgoing mail to the world from my local boxes and they need to use unauthenticated domain or addresses(hopefully without becoming SPAMMED).

Thanks,

Russ

The access file should contain the local IP address of the machine being permitted to relay mail.

You may need to run gen_cf to get the databases build so the server works with changes you have made to your access file.

You might need to have entries in /etc/mail/virtusertable
/etc/mail/genericstable

These tables let you send outbound mail for multiple domain names.

What version of sendmail are you running?

Have you tried using relay-domains?

# vi /etc/mail/relay-domains
domain1.com
domain2.net

# vi /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
FR-o /etc/mail/relay-domains <-uncomment

stop/start sendmail

Hope this helps,
