[Mimedefang] Sendmail problem..

The access_db entry is not an option as it disables traffic from our
internal network, our NAT_gateway is in the domain.com so blocking this in
the access db would create more problems than help things out.

For accepting mail i use relay-domains file by the way, access db is only
used to block things by me.

I now removed domain.com from /etc/mail/relay-domains but then only "550
relaying denied" is shown to the innocent users and that's not nice..

i will post my configuration later, tried it before but the msg-size was too
big, i'll weed some things out.

Thanks

Sounds like you have all this sorted out, then.

If you've only got one entry in your mailertable file, you might like to
replace it with a SMART_HOST definition in your sendmail.mc file instead
(fixed a problem I was having):

  define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp:[exchange.internal.domain.com]')dnl

Another silly question: I assume you have your access file configured
correctly? Namely:

  localhost          OK
  127.0.0.1          OK
  # Domains we handle.
  sub.domain.com     RELAY
  # Domains we do not handle.
  domain.com         REJECT

I'd doubt if that was the case, but I'm hardly an expert. :)

HTH,
Matt
