SMTP Setup

[Tim Raggatt]

Hi people.

I recently invested in a domain name and have so far managed to setup a
webserver and a little site to go on it. Having installed apache and got
the site working on it, I was hoping to setup email but am not quite sure
where to start.

I am using zoneedit.com's DNS servers to point all site accesses to my Dynamic
IP at home and also for the MX service. However, when I send an email to
it, I am currently receiveing the following error:

Remote host said: 550 5.7.1...  Relaying denied

What programs do I need to setup on my server host so that it will handle
incoming mail correctly? I have tried to setup sendmail (see bottom) but
wasn't sure if that was what was required.

Here are some of my configuration files:

(Zoneedit DNS:)
IP Addresses:
www.mydomain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Mail Servers (MX):
mail.mydomain.com *handles mail 1st for* mydomain.com

(Sendmail.mc:)

Any help would be much appreciated!

Tim.
