Mail Relay Server by using Sendmail

raymond117 · 05-06-2005, 11:07 AM

I set up a mail relay server (red hat9 , sendmail 8.12.10)

I would like to allow relay only for email sending to xxx@abc.com

so I write in /etc/mail/access:

To: abc.com RELAY
Connect: abc.com RELAY

according here--> anti_spam.html#access_db_fine
in sendmail.org

But it seems don't work as I get "Relay Denied error".

Anyone knows how ??

Thanks a lot !!!!

I think the way you would do that wouldn't be in the access file. It would be to put "abc.com" in the relay-domains file and ".abc.com smtp:10.1.2.3" in the mailertable file. Of course change 10.1.2.3 to the appropriate IP.

Problems solved:

To:abc.com RELAY

in /etc/mail/access

No space behind ":" is allowed.

Thanks~
