Why does sendmail deny relaying?
Hi, I'm in trouble with sendmail. The following lines apear in /etc/log/mail : Jan 17 11:06:23 www sendmail[16390]: f0HA6N916390: Authentication-Warning: \ www.text-team.de: Host [212.121.144.197] claimed to be canto.de Jan 17 11:06:28 www sendmail[16390]: f0HA6N916390: ruleset=check_rcpt, \ arg1=<THOM@text-team.de>, relay=[212.121.144.197], reject=550 5.7.1 \ <THOM@text-team.de>... Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [212.121.144.197] Is this mail rejected due to failed reverse name lookup failure?

If you put in access.db 212.121.144.197 ACCEPT it will work. Philipp

Yes, and don't forget to hash the plaintextfile. Use the Makefile that I've put in the attachment. Place it in /etc/mail, go there and type make. Little gift from the 7.1 sendmail package...

Speaking of sendmail ...
Is there any version of sendmail that supports SMTP auth?

is there a chance to fix this in /etc/rc.config.d/sendmail.rc.config since sendmail.cf is rebuild the next time I run SuSEconfig.

Unfortunately not. I've had a discussion about it with our sendmail-Guru, Werner Fink, and he convinced me that these warnings make sense, at least in some rare cases. Well, almost convinced... The warnings are not good for anything since the absence of a warning doesn't give any information at all. In order for SuSEconfig to respect your wishes, change /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.sendmail .
Thanks
