I had to do this very thing with my own sendmail configuration. There should
be a set of files in /etc/mail called access and relay-domains, along with
corresponding access.db and relay-domains.db files. These contain the rules
for who can access the mail server, etc. The first two (without the .db
extension) are plain text files. You'll need to edit the access file and add
a line that says "<yourdomain> RELAY" (no anglebrackets). After editing tha=
t,
do a "makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access". This will rebui=
ld
the database. Restart sendmail and test it with a mail client on the new
domain.
