I have set up a system on a dynamic IP system with a BSD based server. Port 25 is not blocked.
I have obtained a name (not important here) that we will call xxx.bounceme.net from no-ip.com, and all mail and requests are forwarded to my dynamic IP address. I have opened the correct ports on my store-bought router.
Now if I send mail from ANYWHERE in cyber spave to knownuser@xxx.bouncemet.net, it gets through to my server just fine. I can check it from anywhere in cyber space with a client (as pop3 is running).
My problem is that I want to be able to allow all of my machines inside this "router" to use sendmail on this BSD machine as their SMTP server. When I try this, by sending an email from knownuser@xxx.bounceme.net to any "known and good" email address outside of xxx.bounceme.net I get a "relaying not allowed" message directly from the sendmail SMTP server on the BSD machine.
I have tried putting 192.168 (local IP addresses) into the in /etc/mail/relay-domains as well as /etc/access (192.168 RELAY). However, the server still responds with no relaying alowed.
Since I have Port 25 open to the world, I surely don't want ALL domains and IP's to be relayed, just those whose IP's start with 192.168.
I have run into "issues" before with sendmail, particularly with the virtusertable file where unless I changed the sendmail.cf file line from a hash to a btree and created the btree file virtusertable.db it would never work. I tried this wist access, but still get this "no relaying" problem.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do and/or what I am doing wrong?
