localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY and restart sendmail and check it . also check when sendmail is running can u give telnet localhost 25 will u get sendmail greetings or not .i hope it will work.
I wasn't interested in getting SMTP authentication to work, NV was, and adding a smarthost provider and entries to enable relaying wont help turn on the SMTP auth system, especially when the error is a DSN saying that the service was unavailable (relaying denied messages tend to be more specific - i.e - 550 Relay Denied - or there abouts.)
This is why I asked for the logs, as the logs should elebarate more as to _why_ the DSN responded with "service unavailable" which tends to indicate that an attempt to spawn a subprocess failed (i.e - a subprocess to check an SASL encrypted password)
NV : this is part of the confusion that is created when responding to a post with content that is completely unrelated to the original.
