[Mailman-Users] "relaying prohibited by admin" error

[Wolfram Knipp]

yes I'm using sendmail.
later versions of sendmail disallow relaying? ugh... this could be the issue
then.
where is the sendmail configuration file (default) on the server? i was
unsuccessful at trying to find it earlier on
thanks

Well, check to make sure you've actually set up sendmail, or which ever MTA
you ARE using correctly then.
Relaying being prohibited usually means you have NOT set up your MTA on the
server correctly. Remember, by DEFAULT the later versions of sendmail deny
relaying. This is something you're going to have to change.
