Hello Claus,
finally worked it out it i had an incorrect format of relay-domains file, i
listed the domains rather than simply listing my network class C ip.
I had it sendmail working with all my domains for the past 3 years. It's
just that i think i implemented one of your old patches to check via LocalIP
and relayto (i think it was yours) and it worked well for 2 years but
recently (i knew the day would come) found spammers using me as a relay and
therefore ORBS and such blocked me .
telnet to mail-abuse.org is a great facility to test your mail realy
setup. As you know it's difficult testing and debugging on the same machine
as the Sendmail server is on.
Regs, and thanks for your help.
