These are the attempts I've made: 1) Using Yast, I created a /etc/sendmail.cf. Then I personalized a little using Yast too and added the domain: bbbb.com and ddd.bbbb.com (which is an alias to aaa.bbbb.com). Afterwards I modified /etc/mail/access and added: cccc.com RELY
I hope this is a typo, because if it isn't then I would try changing it to RELAY ;-)
Finally: # makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access # /sbin/init.d/sendmail reload (or killall -HUP sendmail)
The result is that now I can send to recipients like: user@cccc.com. But this isn't the behaviour I want. What I want is that user@cccc.com can send (not be sent to) to any other recipient (at whatever domain) using my mta.
This doesn't make much sense to me. You can always (providing you've got sendmail running) send mail to any user at any domain. This has nothing to do with the access setting you changed. If I understand you correctly, what you want to do is be a mailserver for domain bbb.com, as well as relay mail from domain ccc.com. This you can achieve by adding ccc.com to either your access database or (simpler) by adding it to /etc/mail/relay-domains. That will permit any user coming from the ccc.com domain (i.e. whose client ip number is in the ccc.com domain) to send mail through your mailserver. If you also want to permit people from external locations to relay through your server (which from your story I think you want to do) you want to look at authenticated relaying. SuSE's default version won't do this I think (if I'm not mistaken the feature was included in sendmail 8.11.0, but I might be wrong. Anyway, if you get the newest source from sendmail.org, it will support this feature. Look at the {install_directory}/cf/README file, it has info on both SMTP authentication and STARTTLS. good luck, Stefan ========================================== Stefan Suurmeijer Network Specialist University of Groningen tel: (++31) 50 363 3423 / 8258 fax: (++31) 50 363 7272 E-mail (business): s.m.suurmeijer@let.rug.nl or : s.m.suurmeijer@rc.rug.nl E-mail (private): stefan@symbolica.nl ========================================== Quidquid id est, timeo Microsoftum et dona ferentis (Whatever it is, I fear Microsoft, even when they are bringing gifts) The hardware requirements were Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux
