Editing the two files you mentioned should not create an open relay. Have you tested your server against an external relay tester like: http://abuse.net/relay.html > I had a modified local-host-names file that was modified by > the update. It had the comment that it made the entry > top.health.gov.za health.gov.za > from the obsoleted /etc/sendmail.cw file > regards, Willem Any domain names listed in local-host-names would be considered local. i.e. sendmail would hand off any e-mail addressed to these domains to procmail for local delivery, not relay them. Based on my understansing of your post, it sounds like all you need are the mailertable entries for the domain names that you wish to relay to your primary mail server. local-host-names would be empty.
