Don't have enough information. The SMTP output below seems to be indicating a non-localhost. Wouldn't you want to add miswebdesign.com to the access file? Also, do you have an /etc/mail/access.db file? If not you should use the makemap command to create one. # sudo makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access is the most common example.
If your machine is acting as mailserver for more than one virtual domain, you might want to add miswebdesign.com to that file. That's all I can think of. One other thing, another poster mentioned /etc/hosts. Sendmail ignores /etc/hosts. Only uses DNS. === Al --- Nigel Peck - MIS Web Design <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can someone tell me why sendmail won't relay from localhost? > > access file: > > # Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf file for a description > # of the format of this file.
