uh no.. this isn't postfix here. The r-dns that resolves to my mc record is
oned by my isp and sendmail works fine on my box. I haven't read the
previous emails nor have i been following this thread so i may be repeating
some stuff here. The reason you are getting relaying denied is because
sendmail disables that feature on install. You need to either add the
features:

FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX')
FEATURE(`access_db')

The above features you will be able to control relaying by adding a type
of host allow/deny to each files.:
/etc/mail/access
/etc/mail/relay-domains

or install smtpauth, which is fully supports by 8.11.1 and is quite nice.

either one once you get them installed properly you will be able to relay
mail off your server.
