local mail relay problem in Sendmail
I have a linux box. Sendmail is work fine in this box. The only problem I am facing is whenever I send mail using the mail command to the outside world or to root@localhost, I get this error -

127.0.0.1 localhost denied from relaying

The command I used to send mail is -

Ls -l | mail -s “listing” root@localhost

The content of my /etc/mail/access -

Localhost RELAY
Localhost.localdomain RELAY
172.128.x RELAY

In my sendmail.mc file if I change the ip address to 12.0.01 it works, but in this case my rest of the users are unable to send mail through this server to the outside world.

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=172.128.64.10, Name=MTA')dnl

Currently the ip address in the sendmail.mc file is of my local network/lan.

Please let meknow what could be the problem and how to rectify this.

Regards,

LEARN ABOUT PHP

push

PUSH(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   PUSH(8)

NAME

     push -- fetch mail via POP

SYNOPSIS

     push [-5 | --krb5] [-v | --verbose] [-f | --fork] [-l | --leave] [--from] [-c | --count] [--headers=headers] [-p port-spec |
	  --port=port-spec] po-box filename

DESCRIPTION

     push retrieves mail from the post office box po-box, and stores the mail in mbox format in filename.  The po-box can have any of the follow-
     ing formats:
	   'hostname:username'
	   'po:hostname:username'
	   'username@hostname'
	   'po:username@hostname'
	   'hostname'
	   'po:username'

     If no username is specified, push assumes that it's the same as on the local machine; hostname defaults to the value of the MAILHOST environ-
     ment variable.

     Supported options:

     -5, --krb5
	     use Kerberos 5 (if compiled with support for Kerberos 5)

     -f, --fork
	     fork before starting to delete messages

     -l, --leave
	     don't delete fetched mail

     --from  behave like from.

     -c, --count
	     first print how many messages and bytes there are.

     --headers=headers
	     a list of comma-separated headers that should get printed.

     -p port-spec, --port=port-spec
	     use this port instead of the default 'kpop' or '1109'.

     The default is to first try Kerberos 5 authentication and then, if that fails, Kerberos 4.

ENVIRONMENT

     MAILHOST
	     points to the post office, if no other hostname is specified.

EXAMPLES

	   $ push cornfield:roosta ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box

     tries to fetch mail for the user roosta from the post office at ``cornfield'', and stores the mail in ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box (you are using
     Gnus, aren't you?)

	   $ push --from -5 havregryn

     tries to fetch From: lines for current user at post office ``havregryn'' using Kerberos 5.

SEE ALSO

     from(1), pfrom(1), movemail(8), popper(8)

HISTORY

     push was written while waiting for movemail to finish getting the mail.
