Sendmail...

[Ron Wickersham]

yes, there is a file that must contain either the machine name or it's numeric
ip address for relaying to be allowed in a modern sendmail.  check the file
/etc/mail/relay-domains and add the machine to the list (unless your vendor
puts the mail configuration in a non-standard place).
