FWIW: The sendmail.org site recommends that you do NOT use linuxconf to make changes to sendmail's config files. Edit your .mc file directly and rebuild your .cf using m4 > > Sendmail is set to not relay anything except localhost.

Relaying is controlled by either adding your network address to /etc/mail/access -or- if configured, adding your network address (or domain name) to /etc/mail/relay-domains. #/etc/mail/access 10.10.10 RELAY Then rebuild the access database by running make in /etc/mail. Since your editing a database, you do not have to restart sendmail. # /etc/mail/relay-domains mydomain.com -or- 10.10.10 If you chose the relay-domain method, you will have to restart sendmail. BTW: When you get some time, consider upgrading to the latest version of sendmail and implemting SMTP Auth. Then you can delete the above enties in favor of all smtp clients having to authenticate before sending (relaying) off of your server.
