It's a SuSE box, with sendmail.cf currently sitting as written out by YaST, so a very standard configuration. I was able to post from my laptop (behind a masquerading host here) through the remote server - ie: that server being configured here as my SMTP server - to my Hotmail account.
How do I stop this and get that "We do not relay" error that I've seen coming from other servers?
What version of sendmail are you running (i.e. what SuSE version)? Sendmail 8.9.x (as of SuSE 6.1) includes built-in Anti-Relaying support and this is enabled by default. I just hope that YaST doesn't disable it... I personally don't let YaST create my sendmail.cf but do that myself (using m4 macros - pretty easy actually). If you are interested I can send you my ".mc" (m4 input) file (used the /etc/mail/linux.mc that comes with SuSE as basis).
