From any host to any host? That is a BAD idea, unless of course you like SPAM. That basically let's you be a relay for anybody and SPAMMERS WILL find your server. There IS an option in the sendmail.mc file which will allow you to do relaying without discrimination. Read up on the mc files and rebuild your sendmail.cf . I still recommend against this though. --- Henrik Hudson -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Jason Halbert Sent: Friday, December 22, 2000 14:22 To: Hudson, Henrik H.

I need it to forward all mail it recieves from any host to any host. I am using the latest version of sendmail and apperently there is some FEATURE you have to add so that it relay's without discrimisation. I've read lots of stuff on sendmail.org and I can't figure out where it's talking about that I have to add the stuff I need to. So I'm still lost (if not more so then when I started). My POP server is working now though, so that's good. --- ------------------------------------------------------- | Jason P.
