Wasn't it you I had sent an email to regarding this very issue? If yes,
why was there no response? If it wasn't you, ignore this line.
Anyway, put all your _networks_ (you could also use the names, but that
relies on a good DNS setup (incl. reverse mappings)) in /etc/mail/access
and run either
    SuSEconfig
or
    makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db </etc/mail/access

That's all! This process cannot be automated during installation - how are
we supposed to find out what IPs are allowed? (CLient) IPs in
/etc/mail/access are allowed to send any mail anywhere, mail for domains
defined as local domains are accepted from anyone.

What about logfiles, e.g. /var/adm/messages?
