Yep, that would be my guess as well. Justin, the file you need to look at
I think is /etc/mail/access. As an example, here's the contents of that
file on my BSD box:
#
# Mail relay access control list. Default is to reject mail unless the
# destination is local, or listed in /etc/mail/local-host-names
#
cyberspammer.com 550 We don't accept mail from spammers
FREE.STEALTH.MAILER@ 550 We don't accept mail from spammers
another.source.of.spam REJECT
okay.cyberspammer.com OK
128.32 RELAY
As you can see, you can either put a line like the following in
/etc/mail/access:
enderakonline.com RELAY
and ensure that all computers sending mail thru this server have address
records in dns, or you can list the domain in /etc/mail/local-host-names.
