Managers:
    Thank you to all that replied. For the sendmail relaying issue we were
having, we are going to use the /etc/mail/relay-domains and the
/etc/mail/access files. All of the answers I received in reply to my
question, followed by the original posting, are below.

--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------

edit the following file: /etc/mail/relay-domains

and add only the domains that you want to relay. Then restart sendmail via
    /etc/init.d/sendmail stop
    /etc/init.d/sendmail start

--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------

Edit the /etc/mail/access file

--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------

Clear, unset, delete
