Versions L2.2Pv2.x

To make your mail server an open relay (a potential target for spammers):

Edit the /etc/sendmail.cf file and comment out the following line:

R$*                    $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 Relaying denied"

So when you're done, it should read:

#R$*                    $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 Relaying denied"

You'll also want to add this file to the /etc/commit.conf file so that NetMAX doesn't overwrite this customization.

Edit the /etc/commit.conf file to contain the following line:

skip /etc/sendmail.cf

After you edit this file, you must commit your changes by forcing the mail committer to run by going to Home|Services|Mail. Click STORE (no configuration changes are required). Click COMMIT in the green Command Panel. Lastly, click on the smaller COMMIT button in the Input Frame.
