[AccessXP]

I have aLinux box with RH9 running the current sendmail ver. I followed instructions given to me on how to setup to mail accounts and now I get this message ANY HELP PLEASE.

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <wtilson@promotionaldimensions.com>
(reason: 571 wtilson@promotionaldimensions.com prohibited. We do not relay)

----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to inbound.promotionaldimensions.com.emailmx.com.:

554 5.0.0 <wtilson@promotionaldimensions.com>... Service unavailable

THANK YOU.

In Sendmail now, relaying is disabled, because it can allow spammers to use your mail server.

So if you send a mail from joe@bloggs.com to bill@somewhere.com via your mail server, sendmail will not relay the mail.

Now, if your domain is bloggs.com, then you can tell sendmail that it should relay mail for bloggs.com using the .mc file in /etc/mail, eg :

dnl  The alternate names of this host:
dnl
Cw localhost bloggs.com
dnl

You must also modify /etc/mail/access to allow a non-local machine to actually send mail :

127             RELAY
# Let the entire LAN send mail
192.168         RELAY
# Me
12.12.12.12    RELAY
# Someone else
11.11.11.11     RELAY

then rebuild your access.db file & your sendmail.cf file and restart sendmail.

I need more help with this. I have all the relay's setup and it still will not allow people from the out side to send email to the second domain. Can some give good instructions on how to complete this.

Thank you.

The domain promotionaldimentions.com doesn't seem to be a FQDN. I'm also having a problem with this: "inbound.promotionaldimensions.com.emailmx.com". What is that? If promotionaldimentions.com is NOT a Fully Qualified Domain Name, then your mail will need to be relayed through your isp. The chances of them letting someone else allow relaying through their servers is slim to none.
