Sendmail 8.9.* won't act as a relay by default.
It will only accept messages if either:
a) the recipient's domain is `local' (in class w)
b) the recipient's domain is in class R (or possibly a subdomain of a
domain which is in class R)
c) the message was sent from the local host
d) the IP address from which the SMTP connection was made is in class
R (or possibly an address from a network which is in class R)
e) the IP address from which the SMTP connection was made resolves to
a hostname which is in class R (or possibly a subdomain of a domain
which is in class R)
Class w is defined by `Cw' directives, or the /etc/sendmail.cw file.
Class R is defined by the /etc/mail/relay-domains file.
The `possibly' in the above rules relates to whether
FEATURE(relay_entire_domain) was used when building the sendmail.cf
file.
