Not sure totally understand question. I will take a stab at it. sendmail uses a file /etc/mail/access to controll relaying. It actually does not use this file it uses /etc/mail/access.db but this is a database file "hash" which cannot be edited by people of ordinary intelligents or at least not me. Most probable cause of (of f network) users not being able to sendmail is a relaying restriction. You may want to look into pop b4 smtp. Pop b4 smtp work's by clients authenticate against pop3 first the source IP of client is added to /etc/mail/access, access is turned into access.db "makemap" and sendmail is restarted and then client sends. pop-before-smtp http://popbsmtp.sourceforge.net/ All configuration files for sendmail are located in /etc/mail/ Example startup/stop script is located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d Or you can just type "Shell>ps -auxwww | grep send" and then run "kill -9 PID" to stop and "kill -HUP PID" to just restart. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard Rice" <bernardr@nc.rr.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 9:17 PM Subject: sendmail issues > Hello all, > > > > I'm having problems sending and receiving mail to and from my outside > network.
