How I "turn-on" e-mail?

[Bob Sinbuzz]

Yes,

This works good; port 25 is now open on my box.

Now, I'm stumped by another obstacle.

When I send e-mail to the host,
it bounces:

PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 5.7.1
<root at xwafflex911.com<dbikle at ow911.com>>...
Relaying denied

This smells like another configuration issue in my sendmail.mc

I'm not sure what to change though.

How do I relay e-mail to my host?
