I'm setting up my mail server, and I want to make sure that sendmail is running correctly before I change DNS entries. So I'm trying to e-mail to my IP address, but I'm not having much luck. When I try to e-mail to my IP a.b.c.d from hotmail, I get (in /var/log/maillog): Dec 21 13:52:35 sj sendmail[3623]: eBLJqZN03623: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<sj@[a.b.c.d]>, relay=law2-f107.hotmail.com [216.32.181.107], reject=550 5.7.1 <sj@[a.b.c.d]>... Relaying denied Dec 21 13:52:35 sj sendmail[3623]: eBLJqZN03623: from=<markscottwright@hotmail.com>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=law2-f107.hotmail.com [216.32.181.107] When I just telnet to the smtp port and try it manually (I still get relaying denied errors. Why does sendmail think I'm relaying, when I'm actually trying to send to the server's IP address? I don't get relaying denied errors if I send to sj@hostname.mydomain.org (within telnet of course - I haven't changed the DNS yet, so hotmail won't recognize hostname.mydomain.org as being a.b.c.d).
