Forum OpenACS Q&A: sendmail problem

Posted by David Kuczek on
My server received the following Email after it tried to send an Email to a member. I believe that my sendmail settings are not too correct. I put the parts that I think to be weird in bold. It would be great if someone could jump in with an idea to help my sendmail...

David,
I ran into similar problem before and I got sendmail working by
commenting out this line:

#localhost.localdomain          RELAY

from the /etc/mail/access file.  Then rebuild access.db by running
'make' from the /etc/mail directory.  You may have to restart sendmail
to get it working.
