Re: Sendmail problem



My suggest is to rebuild .cf from scratch with your 
favorit options enabled . For sure, you do not need
to write it yourself - just use m4 .
Check m4's features: 

FEATURE(relay_entire_domain) 
FEATURE(relay_based_on_MX) 
FEATURE(relay_local_from) 

to help you with this specific problem .
