Did you add the names of the hosts which you approve to do relaying ?
# cat /etc/mail/access # Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf file for a description # of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file) # The /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc # package. # # by default we allow relaying from localhost... localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 RELAY
The access database does not support the use of netmasks like this. Since localhost and localhost.localdomain should both resolve to 127.0.0.1, this access database can be reduced to:
127.0.0.1 RELAY 192.168.1 RELAY
