Langa, Don't know how much of an experienced unix user you are, but I was having similar problems to you and really battled to find support on sendmail. The reason being is that sendmail's config is so cryptic and needs to be handled with M4's etc... etc... so its really difficult to figure out what's going on with sendmail just be looking at the .cf file. On the advice of numerous people I switched across to exim which is so much easier to configure - and it also runs better than sendmail - faster mail throughput, less processor time. So my advice to you is to do what I did: byte the bullet, get rid of sendmail and put exim on. Exim is compatible with sendmail - just ln -s your binary to the old sendmail binary and everything gels nicely. Good luck Mike -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Langa Kentane Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 1999 9:26 AM To: FreeBSD-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Error 550: Relaying denied.
