[cobalt-developers] Sendmail Not Relaying From Perl or Command Line

["Steve McDonald" <smc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Im getting the following error from the telnet command line :

[root@ns1 main]# /usr/sbin/sendmail support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown

and this error from perl scripts accessing sendmail through a pipe:

support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx User unknown
/root/dead.letter... Saved message in /root/dead.letter

It seems as though I cannot execute sedmail in either mode due to 
relay restrictions.  I install software on servers all day and 
have never had a relay problem from executing sendmail in either
of the configurations above.

Is there a special configuration to maintain standard SMTP relay
protection, but allow access to perl scripts and root/admin at the 
command line?

Please advise!
