I just had an interested experience.
I have relay_domains = "nis;hosts.byname"
and also sender_net_accept_relay = 129.128.88.0/255.255.255.0
But noticed that I had entries like this in my reject file.
1998-01-29 14:14:57 refused relay (host accept) to <chow19-2@???> from <dam@
math.ualberta.ca> H=(vega) [127.0.0.1] (dam)
At first I thought that I had blundered with relay_domains,
so I checked that localhost was actually in it. It was.
Then I reread the section under sender_host_accept_relay a few more
times, and it finally sank in.
relay_domains sets who you will accept a relay *TO*
sender_*_accept_relay sets who is your destination.
relay_domains = "I will accept mail and relay it to these domains"
sender_host_accept_relay = "I will accept general outbound relays
from these domains"
Anyway addint a single entry
sender_host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1
cured the problem.
