Steve:


1) As someone else already mentioned, the leading dot is not required
and might cause a problem.
2) You don't HAVE to list an IP address here, you CAN list a domain
name. (your preference)
3) Instead of "esmtp:", my mailertable has "smtp:"
4) In my version of sendmail, in the access file, I have something like:
 > To:cnpapers.com   RELAY
(I don't use the relay-domains file)
5) I think it was already mentioned, but you'll want to do a "make
access.db" and "make mailertable.db" to rebuild those files.
