Re: Sendmail Quandry

[Todd Davis <tdavis@msfw.com>]

Assuming that you are using a RedHat-type sendmail.mc configuration, you
need to add the domain by which you wish to receive the mail to
/etc/mail/local-host-names.  To allow relaying add the subnet rule to
/etc/mail/access.  eg: 64.0.0.0  RELAY

Then restart sendmail.

Other than that, you've stated what you want it to do, but not what
results you're getting.
