[TriLUG] Re: Port 25 blocked

Well, you've moved on to greener pastures, but you CAN relay any
domain...you have to set them up as a SMART relay (I'm not yelling, just
plain text emphasizing) in sendmail it means:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS[mail.bellsouth.net]

which hasn't failed me yet...unless you cound the fact that no one can
reply to that received message!?!?
