When I transfer over the new sendmail.cf file, and I try to send e-mail out from my server, I get "relaying denied" and when I try to send e-mail into it I get "user unknown". I assume that the user base has changed, and I'm unsure how to format/create the new user/domain listing. My old version of sendmail was 8.8.8, so right now, the only thing I can do is use my old sendmail.cf file to allow e-mails to go through. I've checked out sendmail.org and I don't see any explanation on how to create the files that it could possibly be looking for, do you know which they are or how to create them?
