I know I don't need to edit sendmail.cf . I meant to say that I used the
file redhat.mc that came with redhat to build sendmail.cf because I liked
the options it had. I know it does not relay other domains by default, but
that can be changed by adding domains in the /etc/mail/realy_allow file 
(not /etc/mail/relay_domains), which I did. the point is that it worked
just find ever since I made that configuration (some months ago), and it
only went berzerk on me three days ago. I don't understand why, and how to
get back the old funcionality.
note : sepcifeing to sendmail to allow relay of the local domain wouldn't
work because of the weird way that the mishkei network is set up : the
domain is betalfa.org.il, but the dial-up connections are called 
host###-##.mishkei.org.il (# represent numbers), so efectivly their not on
my domain at all, but mishkei's.

just so you'll have a clue what I'm talking about, here's redhat.mc :
