This is, IMHO, a _spectacularly_ bad idea, and one of the No. > reasons that this is so is stuff like this.

It assumes that this is a relaying attempt. Hence the error message (with an explanation). The OP should read the sendmail FAQ. Assuming pilikia.net is a local domain (which the ns1.pilikia.net implies) it should be added to class {w}. Details can be found in cf/README: If your host is known by several different names, you need to augment class {w}. This is a list of names by which your host is known, and anything sent to an address using a host name in this list will be treated as local mail. You can do this in two ways: either create the file /etc/mail/local-host-names containing a list of your aliases (one per line), and use ``FEATURE(`use_cw_file')'' in the .mc file, or add ``LOCAL_DOMAIN(`alias.host.name')''. Be sure you use the fully-qualified name of the host, rather than a short name. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
