Putting acsalaska.net in there is NOT a good idea. Now, every single DSL
user can use your mailserver to send out mail (or spam). If they catch
you sending spam from your account they will disconnect you.
So, if you have an internal network on your DSL line, you will want to add
that network to your access file like this. Say your computers IP is
192.168.1.2 and you want everything on your network to be able to relay:
192.168.1. RELAY
That will allow any IP that starts with that address to relay.
Just some food for thought.

I had 'enderakonline.com RELAY' in the access file and it didn't work. I
also tried 'enderakonline.com OK' and it still didn't work.
Then I added 'acsalaska.net' to /etc/mail/relay-domains and it sent it, but
the destination server gave me this error back:
<<< 553 5.1.3 <enderak@linux:local>... Colon illegal in host name part
So I found these lines in sendmail.cf and commented them out and restarted :
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMlinux:local
And now all seems to be working!! I'll be playing around with it more, but
so far it seems to be good... I'm quite excited. :) Thanks to everyone
today for all your help!
Justin
