This will will contain a list of IPs or systems that look something like: localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY 192.168.1 RELAY I believe the first three lines in the example are the default. The last line is an example of what you might add so machines on your internal LAN can relay email through the server. This line can be specific for each machine or in this example it covers the entire subnet. Once you have made the changes you can do a make in the /etc/mail directory. This will generate the access.db file from the access file. At this point you should restart sendmail and test. (service sendmail restart). That should get you in business. -- Scot L.
