SEnding mail to foreign doman

Hello,
I am in the process to configuring sendmail and POP3, it will by
permanently on the net. All seems fine exept for the fact that I cannot
sent anything outside my domain (e.g. yahoo.com)! I found out that when
I enter the foreign domain (yahoo.com) into the access file
(/etc/mail/access), it all works. Does this mean that I have to enter
every possible domain we are going to sent to?
This is not convinient, I would think there is a work around? Can
anybody enlighten me!

Tanks,

No.

What's the error message you get? The famous "Relaying denied"
which is answered here every day? Here's the answer...

http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/relayingdenied.html

If that doesn't solve your problems, post the related logfile
entries, tell us which of those hosts (to=, relay=) in the entries
are "yours" (or "trusted"), and list the anti-relay FEATUREs you
use.

It was the 'famous relay denied!'
Thanks for leading me to this article. It seems to work fine now!

Thanks for your help!
