relay denied

[Altern8]

Ho folks,

I have setup sendmail version:

noobian:/home/kevin# mail
No mail for root
noobian:/home/kevin# /usr/sbin/sendmail -d0.4 -bv root
Version 8.12.3


I can send mail to my ISP email account from the debian box, but when I fire up outlook express, and try and send mail using my debian box, I get the following error:

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'Altern8@ntlworld.com'. Subject '', Account: 'Testaccount', Server: '192.168.20.1', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.7.1 <Altern8@ntlworld.com>... Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [192.168.20.2]', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

(192.168.20.1=ip address on my eth1)
(192.168.20.2=ip address on my windows box)


Can anyone help me fix this problem?

Cheers

Kevin

Hi,

You need to allow relaying of mail from your user (or that ip-address...)

in /etc/mail/access

add the following

Testaccount@* RELAY

and restart the mail server (service sendmail restart if you run RedHat...)

I'm not a 100% on the syntax in the file but look at the docs if unsure..
