Hm, I think you did that wrong somehow...;)

I got a friendly nudge from our old friend Noel (Res... Well, he's my
friend anyway:-), who told me basically:
---- Quote
To:exmaple.net REJECT
[IP.of.server.B] RELAY

---------------------------
All he needs is the first line, his  relaying ip range should already be
in relay-domains file, which takes the local IP range as well as non
forging domain names.

/etc/mail/access has not been the recommended way to relay for local
stuff for some years :)

Which just go to show exactly how rusty my rendmaul... eh, sendmail...
skills are:-).
