Re: sendmail



This is due to security mechanism in new sendmail versions.

Probabely the machine you try to send from using Eudora or netscape does
not appear in  /etc/mail/hosts_allow or /etc/mail/ip_allow
You can verify this is the problem using the following test
from the pc do
telnet sendmailhost 25
-> sendmail....
<- mail from: your@email
-> Sender Ok
<- rcpt to: thedesired@email
-> Cannot relay .. ! this is the problem.
