tlug: Re: RELAY

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

Manuel, 

Thank you for your advice; that probably 
will be of much use to some people. 
Well, it looked promising but didn't 
do the trick for me. I tried it by using 
the file /etc/mail/relay-domains that my 
sendmail.cf pointed to but also 
/etc/mail/access .  I alternately 
put "gol.com    RELAY" 
and "mail.gol.com    RELAY" 
in the file. 

Here are the relevant lines from sendmail.cf 

##################
#   local info   #

R<PERM> $*              $#error $@ 5.1.8 $: "501 Sender domain must exist"


By the way, I am occasionally getting a 553 error on incoming mail which 
gets flushed but doesn't appear in my mail reader. I'm hoping that this 
is how the system is dealing with certain types of obvious spam messages...
wishful thinking?
