If so then you need to configure it to permit relaying for the senders machine. It might be as easy as entering a domain name in /etc/mail/relay-domains. There are lots of approaches. Most of them are described in the /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README under the ANTI-SPAM heading, SMTP AUTHENTICATION heading or by following the bouncing ball at http://www.sendmail.org good luck -- Chris Fedde To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
