I'm (trying to) setup a mail server currently running 4.5-STABLE. I've
configured my sendmail daemon correctly (I think).  I have the following in
/etc/mail/access:

/etc/mail/access
192.168.0                         RELAY


My mail server is 192.168.0.250, and from this server I can send mail with
no incident. However, any time I try to send email from any other host on
the local network, I receive an error similar to the following (From
/var/log/maillog)

Apr 26 23:00:05 aegir sendmail[242]: g3R305X2000242: ruleset=check_rcpt,
arg1=<geminidomino@earthlink.net>, relay=odhinn.asgard.us [192.168.0.1] (may
be forged), reject=550 5.7.1 <geminidomino@earthlink.net>... Relaying
denied. IP name possibly forged [192.168.0.1]
***
but still no dice.  According to an (older) tutorial on the sendmail.org
website, "IP name possibly forged" is the result of an inconsistant DNS
server. But when I tested with nslookup,

bash-2.05a# nslookup odhinn.asgardnet.org
Server:  hermod.asgard.us
Address:  192.168.0.250

Name:    odhinn.asgardnet.org
Address:  192.168.0.1

Without fail, this comes up. I am sure there is something I am missing. If
anyone could help me figure out what it is, I'd be massively grateful. I
think I provided enough info, if not  I'll be glad to fill in any holes
