You need to add their IP addressess to your /etc/mail/ip_allow file. The
sendmail.cw is used for accepting mails for specific domains.
The question is: How does sendmail use ip_allow and name_allow. Does it
perform an and or an or? i.e. if you have a domain in name_allow my.domain
and an address in ip_allow say 172.16.0.0, can someone on a different network
change his domain and use your server to relay their mail??
I also beleive that relay_allow has no purpose what so ever. There should be
instead a relay_deny !!
