I can "fix" the problem by removing the SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST from my sendmail.rc.config

I don't remember changing anything to cause this "Relaying denied" to start happening, but perhaps I messed something up before I left.

Your ISP has made some changes, ostensibly to crack down on spam. You could ask them for some details, but many ISP's have clueless people who answer the phones... :-( For your reference, in case it helps, here are a couple of lines from my sendmail.cf (in this case, I'm a standalone user at home. If my wife sends e-mail, and doesn't want to be masqueraded as me, she'll use KMail or Netscape, with their own built-in SMTP stuff, which bypasses what I'me setting here in sendmail): # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS # who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M) DMgordon.pritchard@shaw.ca My ISP is happy, and I don't get recipient-bounces (because my outgoing From: *does* resolve, in case they do a name-lookup). -Gord
