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

[Kevin Miller]

I've never used local-host-names (unless you mean /etc/hosts) but I do
have entries in relay-domains to/for which I'll relay mail.  Try adding
your internal domains there...

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.
