What do you mean by "external local machines?" Usually, you have external or local. If the machines are on the same subnet, and your machines FQDN's are .yourdomain.com, then simply put yourdomain.com in the relay-domains file and you really need to specify it as your mail server's domain. If you use Webmin this is all simple. Look in relay-domains and local domains. Specify it there. If not, put the domain name in the Cw portion at the bottom of your sendmail.mc file then m4 it. Also, I'd put it in the DM section of your sendmail.cf, realizing that editting the cf directly is usually a no-no. Unfortunately, the default mc doesn't provide for DM. I'm sure there's a syntax to plug it in but I know not how. :) <<JAV>> ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Ronald Hawkins <ron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 09:05:20 -0500 Subject: Sendmail - allowing external relaying > Hello All, > > If I have missed an earlier post, I apologize but I have grep'd the > archives and did not find my answer. > > First let me state that sendmail is accepting connections from > external interfaces and I am receiving all of my sites mail AFAIK. > > The question is "How do I change the default sendmail.mc file to > allow external local machines to relay mail through my mail > gateway?"
