Hello all, thanks for taking the time out to help with this.
I’m setting up an exchange server (internal) to send everything through sendmail (external) on my current LAN. Everything is up and running on exchange, and when the Internet Mail Service is set to use DNS, I can send mail out from exchange with no problem. However, when I set the IMS to the ip address of the sendmail box, all outgoing messages are returned “550… Relaying Denied”. The thing is, I already added the ip of the exchange server to a RELAY line in sendmail’s access db (and ran makefile as well). No matter where I look I can’t seem to find if there’s another layer that would stop RELAYing on sendmail. I thought the ACCESS file took care of everything. I have no more hair to pull out.
If it matters, sending mail directly from pine on the sendmail box works fine. So it seems to just be a relay access problem.
Thanks so much for any help. For reference, here’s an exact copy of the returned mail:
