Michael,
These are the entries in my /etc/mail
[marius@argon mail]$ ls -l
total 7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 21 1998 deny
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16384 May 17 13:40 deny.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22 May 17 23:01 ip_allow
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 21 1998 name_allow
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 21 1998 relay_allow
You may notice that relay_allow is actually empty
I use ip_allow instead
At a minimum you need
127.0.0.1
and you can add some individual hosts, and subnets (put in your numbers)
192.0.0.1
192.0.0
192.0
You get the picture. If you prefer, you can also set up name_allow in a
similar manner.
Then restart sendmail.
BTW be careful not to open yourself up as open spam relaying channel...
Marius
