Mailscanner Gateway does not reject unknown users (more of a sendmail question, I think) (Ken A)

I checked, and my mailertable is already populated just like you  
suggest. Here is a copy of my mailertable:

tubafor.com             esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]
imap.tubafor.com        esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]
smtpgw.tubafor.com      esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]
tmiforestproducts.com   esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]
tmiforestproducts.net   esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]
tmiforestproducts.org   esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]
tmiforestproducts.info  esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]
tmiforestproducts.biz   esmtp:[imap.tubafor.com]

--- END /etc/mail/mailertable ---


So I must have something else not set correctly. Just to clarify,  
should I have my local-host-names populated as well as mailertable,  
or just mailertable? I'll check out all other sendmail files and see  
if I can come up with anything. Most Internet forums suggest to put  
each email address in the access file with a RELAY status. I hope  
this is not the only way to accomplish this task. I'd have about a  
thousand to enter.

Thanks for the help.
