Most ISP's don't allow send, only receive. Otherwise, they'd have to allow relaying for just about everyone which is where the bulk of spam traffic comes from.
I'm curious about your setup. You have a 134 address. Why don't you have your sendmail server and client behind something? Anyway, the reason you are getting relaying denied is because relaying is not setup for sendmail for that subnet. ideally, that's a good thing. Typically, you would set your server and clients behind a fw or something on a private address scheme, then just relay for the local subnet. That would avoid the relaying denied error. <<JAV>> On Mon, 2003-03-10 at 16:51, Joel Lopez wrote: > Out of curiosity, how do ISP's or business' set up their email servers so > that if you have an account you can connect from any computer as long as you > know the incoming/outgoing mail servers and your username/password? > > Can sendmail be safeley configured to do this? > > Joel Lopez > User Support Specialist, Information Technology > (909) 607-4793 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mihai Tanasescu > Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 1:46 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: sendmail - cannot send outgoing mail > > > You must place the ip 134.173.132.184 from which you are connecting to > your sendmail server inside the file access.conf from /etc/mail/ .(I > think) > This allows your server to accept messages sent from your ip to be send > to other e-mail addresses. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Joel Lopez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 11:33 PM > Subject: sendmail - cannot send outgoing mail > > > > Hi, > > > > I have sendmail set up and I can send mail from the command line and > recieve > > email.
