I have little experience with tweaking sendmail; but I setup a box to host our inner-office email a short while ago, and it's been running great. Now, we are considering making the email server publically accessable. The incoming mail is not much of an issue at this time, what concerns me, is the outgoing portion; I've never successfully setup sendmail to function as an SMTP relay, (assuming thisis even what's required). Here's the scenario: - FreeBSD Box running sendmail (not sure the version, but will be upgraded to the version that comes with 3.4-RELEASE shortly) - Multiple Windows-POP3 Clients, using the FreeBSD box to host POP3,/SMTP; not connected to the internet except for a few dialup accounts - A seperate email client using our ISP's SMTP server to send email over the internet What we want to do, is connect the FreeBSD box to the internet, (our ISP will handle the DNS/MX record), as an email server. Allowing our office to recieve/send email. I've gotten the recieve portion to work, but get the error 'relaying not allowed' on the FreeBSD box when an internal windows' box tries to send email. As I said above, I've not played around much with sendmail before, (yet it doesn't mean I'm afraid to), hence I'd like to know the simplest/shortest method by which to enable SMTP relaying, (our ISP is willing to allow use of it's SMTP server if we need it).
