sendmail relaying

Sorry for my delayed response.  Was being distracted with other
priorities.

sendmail-8.12.4-1

No, that's not correct.  Lemme explain it better:


		Firewall w/real IP
		    & masq. IP
			|
		+-------+---------------+
		|			|
		Mail Server		My Machine
		Masq IP			Masq IP


My machine currently acts as a listserv.  It receives emails to the list &
successfully forwards them to the list members.


>From "My Machine" I can email to myself and others at UB email addresses.

However, when I try to email an @aol.com address, I get the email relaying
denied error.  If I logon to the machine I can then send the message via
pine to ANY @aol.com address without error.

I added my 192.168.1 address to access, and relay-domains, but still no
luck.  Still get relaying denied.
