Re: [hylafax-users] email to fax gateway with sendmail doesnt work

["John Stolz" <linux@gabo.de>]

THANKS DIETER!!
it works well now. from the faxserver i can send mail -v root@123.fax

but i got again one other problem: i try to send email root@20.fax from
outlookexpress and this error comes:

Die Nachricht konnte nicht gesendet werden, da einer der Empf�nger vom
Server nicht akzeptiert wurde. Die nicht akzeptierte E-Mail-Adresse ist
'root@20.fax'. Betreff 'test', Konto: 'florix', Server: 'florix', Protokoll:
SMTP, Serverantwort: '550 <root@20.fax>... Relaying denied', Anschluss: 25,
Secure(SSL): Nein, Serverfehler: 550, Fehlernummer: 0x800CCC79

maybe it is a sendmail problem? relaying denied????

i will just put my sendmail.cf as attachment.

thanks for advice

regards

John
