Now that my blood pressure has returned to normal... I have been frontending an exchange server using sendmail since 1996 (using the mailertable). I constantly run open relay checkers against my system everytime I make even the simplest config change. Adding what I showed in my post to the mailertable WILL NOT CREATE AN OPEN RELAY. I'm guessing you added something else to your sendmail config (like an entry to the access table) to create the problem you describe. > > If I could understand this more I would be much better at explaining > it, maybe even solving it.

You have "main outgoing server" and "local outgoing server". Which one is configured to send outgoing e-mails? If your smart, it will be system 2. System 1 should only send DSN's and relay only from e-mails submitted locally (127.0.0.1), which is the default as shipped with redhat. > > Tried to stop it but, in time constraints it was easier to just drop > System1 and make System 2 the primary.

As I stated earlier, I think you must have added something to your access file that may be causing your problem.
