The account holders typically check their email from locations such as bellsouth.net, innova.net, carol.net, mindspring.net, etc..., but when they check from these domains, they get a relaying denied error 550 message back from my server. I found that I can fix this by placing their ip address in my /etc/mail/relay-domains file, but if they dial in later, I have to change the address in the /etc/mail/relay-domains file and killall -hup sendmail. This is not practical. I have considered turning off the relaying rules in sendmail to fix the problem, but I don't want to leave my server open for abuse. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
