[cobalt-users] Email parameter questions (RaQ 4) - Sendmail relaying denied, smart relay host

[Johan Pretorius <solfact@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

All of the following has to do with the setup of email on
a RaQ 4, specifically to get rid of the Sendmail error
"Relaying denied". 

When adding a virual domain, the Cobalt admin script adds an 
automatic entry to the Host/Domain Alias field (with the 
www. bit included, eg. www.somedomain.net). However, 
nothing is added to the "Relay for following Hosts/domains".  
I've copied all domains across to the latter field (with
the www bit removed) - and all appears to be working fine
now (the "relaying denied" problem has disappeared).

Question time:

[1] What is the purpose of the "Smart Relay Host Name" option?
    Should the server host name be entered in that field?

[2] Should one specify a mail.virtualdomain.com for each and
    every virtual domain (DNS MX record), or can one make use of 
    a single one (perhaps the server host name)?

Much appreciated,

Johan Pretorius
