Hi Carlo,

(when i say clients i mean for instance outlook express, not other standalone servers).
To let these clients relay I have for any IP an entrance in the access like this:
localhost.localdomain RELAY 192.168.1.20 RELAY
This all looks good so far. Do you have any other entries in the file with a RELAY tag, particularly any with a name instead of an IP address?
Now, what i wonder is why sendmail allows relay even if I remove these entries. and only does not allow relay if i remove from hosts the hostname i gave to the machine (e.g. 192.168.1.20 lan01)
It may be relaying because of another feature other than the IP address being specified in the access.db.
About this i guess is because if I remove the hostname the ip does not resolve so the server does not accept it. So the fact i does not relay has nothing to do with the access database or access rules in general.
That looks likely.
Anyway why if I remove the 192.168.1.20 RELAY line that machine is still able to relay?
I obviously run makemap and restart sendmail after having modified access file and i don't have relay-domains entries (only localhost)
There's no need to restart sendmail after doing the makemap
What's your sendmail.mc look like? Please post all of it.
Paul.
