The /etc/mail/relay-domains, its the right place to allow relay in
sendmail, you can use hostnames, domain names, and IP Addresses, in sendmail
8.9.3, its enabled by default.
The /etc/mail/acces file its used specially to control acces instead of
relaying, you can relay with this file, but thats what is
/etc/mail/relay-domains its made for. you can enable the acces feature with
the following line in your m4 config file:
FEATURE(access_db)
and you create the file access.txt and add things like this:
xxxhotel.com REJECT
abc@xxxdomain.com REJECT
host5.domain.com RELAY
host.domain.com DISCARD
to reject mail, to relay mail, or to discard mail silently (accept it and
discard it).
but you have to:
makemap hash acces < access.txt
in order to work.
Have Fun...
