Hi Eric,
I made the settings you suggested. The iTools7 interface shows me that i
have both dbmscan.com and mail.dbmscan.com in the local-host-names file. And
the relay-domains file now has dbmscan.com as well as our router IP.
However, the path to the file that is actually changing isn't:
/Library/Tenon/MailServer/Configuration/local-host-names
The file that is being modified by the iTools7 interface is:
/etc/mail/local-host-names
/Library/Tenon/MailServer/Configuration/local-host-names is actually blank!
The /Library/Tenon/MailServer/Configuration/relay-domains file is the same
way, blank. And when I modify the relay domain settings through the iTools7
interface the file that is actually modified is:
/etc/mail/local-host-names
What is going on here? The local-host-names and relay-domains files have the
proper data that is entered via the iTools7 interface pages, I restarted
sendmail. Still, it doesn't work.
The way I understood relay domains to work for our situation is that you put
the IP address of the LAN router that supports our office network into the
relay-domains file and then sendmail will allow clients that are behind that
router to use sendmail to send and receive email.
As a side question: Why doesn't the iTools7 interface was modify the files
in the /Library/Tenon/MailServer/Configuration/ directory?
TIA!
