Hey guys, I'm setting up an email server here and I'm getting some errors, hope someone can help me out.

I'm running neomail with sendmail on apache with php. I've got everything installed right, well, it appears to be right! Whenever I try to send a message though, it gets returned, and this is what it says (I've changed the domain and email address, but they are correct):

This is a MIME-encapsulated message

I've Googled it and all I can find is that you're supposed to add a trusted user in the sendmail.cf file, which I have...

Troot
Tdaemon
Tuucp
Tapache

Any and all help is appreciated.

Did you setup your actual domain name used to be a valid domain sender? That would be one reason why your getting "relaying denied" errors..

I'm not sure what you mean.

It does have an mx record though

Add your host you want to send mail to and from in your /etc/mail/relay-domains file..

Say I have sendmail configured for foo.com and my hostname and machine is actually machineA.localdomain.com.. I would add:

machineA.localdomain.com in my relay-domains file which will allow it to send from and deliver the mail properly to my mail server.

Remember, once you edit this file, you need to send a SIGHUP or restart sendmail for it to see the changes. You can add however many hosts or machines you want in this file to allow to send email from..

Don't make it accessible for all to send mail.. then your opening up your mailserver for spammers to use as a spam mailer..

I don't have that file... I only have

access domaintable.db mailertable sendmail.cf trusted-users
access.db helpfile mailertable.db sendmail.mc virtusertable
domaintable local-host-names Makefile submit.cf virtusertable.db

in /etc/mail/

do you have the syntax so I can make a relay-domains file?

There isn't much syntax to speak of, it's a list of domains, 1 per line.

frogger01@frogger01sbox:~$ cat /etc/mail/relay-domains
my.domain
my.other.domain

ok, so I have that file done now, and I've restarted sendmail (/etc/init.d/sendmail restart), but I still get the same problem. I'm pretty sure that it's nothing to do with neomail, but rather a sendmail problem. Any other ideas of things to check?
