I have two FreeBSD servers set up for email. One is for sending and one is for receiving. The problem I'm having is that when I send an email out it sends ok but I noticed that the recipient gets a message saying unknown ip address misconfigured sender. See below. What am I doing wrong on configuring the outgoing email server? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Received: from test.test.com (unknown[x.x.x.x](misconfigured sender))
by sccrmxc12.comcast.net (sccrmxc12) with ESMTP

You need to allow relaying for trusted systems or domains in your relay-domains files and make sure your mail server's ip is listed in your access file.
x.x.x.x RELAY

Hey thanks that worked. I didn't have the ip address in the access file.
 
Hey Rhinokiller,

Maybe you could help with one more thing.

The outgoing email that is being sent works great when sending email out side of our office but relay inter email doesnt work.

My outgoing server is called "Robin" and my incoming server is called "batman". How do I relay so the email from Robin will goto "batman"?

Thanks for you help.
