Relaying denied Jul 19 15:56:55 localhost sendmail[11221]: i6JJusn5011221: from=<hotmailaddr@xxxxxxxxxxx>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=bay2-f28.bay2.hotmail.com [65.54.247.28] got one of these everytime, but now i know it is actually getting here, do you know what this means? I looked it up, and it has something to do with rules that I have set but they are default because I didnt do it and dont know how to change them either, I think it has to do with fact that I am "localhost" rather then myip or now my new domain, from that free domains place, but neither using my ip nor using the domain has been successful sendmail shoots them down unfortunatly. Thanx for all the help so far, I just hope I can get this working the rest of the way.
