John,
Does the domain tester.samhill.com exist in the DNS? - and
is there a PTR record for the IP address of your sending mail
server?
It sounds like the remote machine is checking for one of the
above, and is alarmed that it can't determine who's sending
mail, probably as part of spam or relaying protection - I suspect
you can mail to other less 'Strict' external mail servers...
cheers,
Andrew.

Subject: sending mail outside local domain
I've recently set up qmail 1.03 on an OpenBSD 2.6 system. I can send and
receive e-mail locally, but when sending out to the internet I get the
following error:
Connected to 198.23.2.45 but sender was rejected.
Remote host said: 501 <<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> ... Sender domain must
exist
I have no MX record for tester, as it isn't the default mail server for the
domain (using it for testing).
Any idea how to fix this? Would a second MX record at lower priority do?
Thanks
