Well, if you really mean what you have said: to send mail from other
systems (to yet other systems) by relaying through you, then:
the list of machines which are authorized to RELAY mail through
your smtp service is found in the file:
/etc/mail/access.db
which is formed by editing the file:
/etc/mail/access (text file) and then using the following command to
"compile" (or hash) it into the database file .db:
makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access
You should already see an entry for:
127.0.0.1 RELAY (so you can send mail from your own
machine!)
The problem is: you don't want to put in a whole domain in this relay
permission file unless you really mean it: do you really want every
machine in the specified domain to be able to relay through you?
So, if you can figure out a concise enough list to allow to relay, you
can do it this way. However you don't want to open up relay to every
AOL or Mindspring user, so be careful!
You can experiment by adding just a couple of machines, and testing.
Then you can try to figure out the best way to specify the machines to
which you want to grant mail relay.
