Yep, I tried that. Just for fun I tried it again just now and got:
make -C /etc/mail make: Entering directory `/etc/mail' make: Nothing to be done for `all'. make: Leaving directory `/etc/mail'
Still no Relay lovin.
Someone suggest adding sendmail:all to my hosts.allow file but that didn't help ether.
Please do not top-post, and please trim your messages. It is extremely confusing to read your message, then wade through a bunch of irrelevant past messages, then finally find this waaaaay at the bottom:
Did you follow the instructions at the top of sendmail.mc to rebuild the sendmail.cf file, then restart sendmail?
The make command you mentioned has nothing to do with recreating the sendmail.cf file, which is this command:
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf.
Also, the DAEMON_OPTIONS change mentioned will allow sendmail to receive mail from the network interfaces but has NOTHING to do with relaying. For those, the quickest and simplest suggestion is to enable SMTP AUTH by _uncommenting_ these three lines in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
Remember to recreate your sendmail.cf after modifying the mc, then restart sendmail.
To actually use SMTP AUTH, all that is required is to tell your mail client (any mail client, really) to use authentication when sending mail. This is usually found in the Tools --> Accounts --> Properties of your mail client software.
