Re: DNS questions

IIRC the /etc/mail/relay-hosts is the same as the old /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file .. it lists the domains that you will accept mail for... the accessdb is for allowing who can relay through your mailserver (like you would specify your local networks in there)

to get around this you simply need to edit
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc and comment out
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
by putting a dnl in front of it. And while you're at
it, you may as well comment out this line too:
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl

then run m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc >
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf

then you will prolly still have to allow relaying via
the other files as mentioned

I had already commented out "DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,
Name=MTA')" and still had the same errors. I just tried uncommenting
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl, running the m4 command, and
restarting sendmail. Still get the same thing.

As far as the /etc/mail/relay-hosts file, I am not familiar with that,
but isn't relaying controlled by the /etc/mail/access.db  file now?
