There is a problem with what you have here. The cw file as you say is for
local names. The relay-domains file isn't who we allow to relay. That is
the access_db file as is in.......
FEATURE(`access_db', `hash -o /etc/mail/sendmail.access.db')dnl
The relay-domains section of the .cf file says...
# Hosts that will permit relaying ($=R)
As in remote hosts. Who we allow to relay is already defined in access_db
and given the rules RELAY, REJECT, etc etc. The relay-domains file is
commented as if to give a list of relays not local. That is the point of
my confusion. For hosts that we allow to relay do we need them in both
access_db AND relay-domains? Or is relay-domains for something totaly
different??
