I have sendmail running under Red Hat 8.0 and can send and receive mail from the local network and receive from senders outside the network and can send mail to others outside the network. In setting up a user who is outside the network but who has an account on the local mail server, the following logfile messages were noted. He was using outlook express just like we do on the lan only he is outside the lan. (the xxx's are placeholders only, please excuse) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
