[cobalt-developers] Sendmail, access.db, Unconditional relay

["Jozsef Szilagyi" <j.szilagyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to everybody,
 
I hope somebody can help me with this problem.
I have an application which is not really sendmail friendly, and I can't
configure sendmail to accept the emails from it.
 
The problem is,
after the helo command, when the application send the MAIL FROM: command
then the application send something in this form: MAIL FROM: <im a stupid
emailing program> and not an e-mail address 
The sendmail answering with the following response:
MAIL FROM: <im a stupid emailing program> ... ... Domain name required and I
see on the maillog : ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<im a stupid emailing
program>, relay=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx], reject=553 5.5.4 <im a stupid emailing
program>... Domain name required
 
I put on the access file the following line
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx        OK

which according my knowledge, should allow to that IP address to relay, even
if the other rules does not allow,

I also tried to cahange that line to :
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx        RELAY

I also tried to put that IP address in 
/etc/mail/relay-domains file

All with the same result message "Domain name required"

 
 
But on Cobalt Raq4 is not working.
 
Best regards,
Jozsef Szilagyi
