Relay Denied when trying to send mail thru pop3
I am trying to use pop3 on SuSE 6.1 it works fine from shell but if i try to use any mail program it tells me the e-mail was rejected by the server "Relaying Denied" i have no idea how to fix this. Thanks Rusty www.modx.net

Sendmail on SuSE 6.1 comes with relaying disabled. It's an anti-spam thing. To get round it, create yourself an /etc/mail/relay-domains and enter the names of the domains you want to allow relay access. I had to do this to allow sendmail to pass Email sent from Win98 running inside VMware. Btw, the answer to this is in SuSE's online trouble shooting database. It's always a good place to look first.
