    Hi,

    I just have a question about the log messages I am receiving. Here's the
    explanation of my setup.

    We used to have two servers: X and Y. We had Sendmail running only on one
    of them (X). Last month we completely wiped everything and changed the
    setup of what is running on each server. Now we have Sendmail running on
    both servers. Most of the virtual domains/websites that USED to be on X
    are NOW on Y. The mail works fine on both servers. Users on Y are
    receiving mail perfectly. However, I am getting a LOT of 'relaying denied'
    and 'relaying temporarily disabled' on the X server for the domains that
    are currently on Y.

    I have checked the zone information for each of the domains on Y and they
    have MX records listed correctly -- mail should first go to Y, then to X.
                 MX 10 Y.ns1.com
                 MX 15 X.ns2.com

    So my question is: if mail is received on Y why am is it still trying be
    relayed though X for the domains that are on Y?

    Here's a snippet of my log messages from /var/log/maillog:
    Jun 20 04:06:17 sendmail[30589]: i5K968bv030589: ruleset=check_rcpt,
    arg1=<valeria@zzz.net>, relay=[61.51.250.44], reject=550 5.7.1
    <valeria@zzz.net>... Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [61.51.250.44]
    Jun 20 04:06:19 sendmail[30589]: i5K968bv030589: lost input channel from
    [61.51.250.44] to MTA after rcpt
    Jun 20 04:06:19 sendmail[30589]: i5K968bv030589:
    from=<Carolyhcd@panda.com>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP,
    daemon=MTA, relay=[61.51.250.44]
    Jun 20 04:09:39 sendmail[30590]: i5K99b9w030590: ruleset=check_rcpt,
    arg1=<webmaster@site.net>, relay=YahooBB219007126054.bbtec.net
    [219.7.126.54], reject=550 5.7.1 <webmaster@site.net>... Relaying denied.
    Proper authentication required.
    Jun 20 04:09:39 sendmail[30590]: i5K99b9w030590: reject=550 5.7.1

    And others:
    Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [220.89.226.158]
    Relaying denied. IP name possibly forged [65.91.92.64]
    Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [219.248.33.52]

    And from the log file sent to root:
    Relaying denied:
    >From [actual ip address here] to radium@mysite.net: 1 Times(s)
    >From [actual ip address here] to alex@mysite.net: 1 Times(s)

    Anything I can do about those messages? Each day I get about 200 or so of
    these in root mail. (I have changed some sensitive info in the examples
    that I provided, but the gist of it should be there.)
    Thank you.

    Olga
