For each host that you may be forwarding to add 1 line to sendmail /etc/mail/access file as follows (this is 1 line - the mailer may wrap it). So if you isp gave you smtp.isp.com do a 'host' on it and make sure you cover all the ip addresses and the hostnames they reverse to - 1 per line. # # This goies in /etc/mail/access # AuthInfo:<ISP_MAIL_HOST or IP Address> "U:<your isp user name>" "I:<your isp user name" "P:<your isp password>" then rebuild. Note if you haven't done so you will need to yum install sendmail-devel After editing (or creating the access file) confirm you have FEATURE(`access_db')dnl in your sendmail.mc Then # cd /etc/mail; make # service sendmail restart and off you go. g/
