Subject:   sendmail relaying rules causing problems
Message-ID:  <002101beeced$26e811e0$cb730418@charles.domain>

I have a small email server that hosts about 200 email accounts.  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!

Charles
