Problem with Outlook Express talking to sendmail on RedHat 7.1

[Kevin Brown]

I would suspect that the sendmail server is doing a DNS lookup of your host and
since it is a 192.168.x.x address it isn't in the DNS server and it has relaying
turned off (this is a good thing).  You might need to add a rule to sendmail to
allow it to relay mail from 192.168.x.x addresses, preferably only accepted on
the internal LAN interface.
