make sure you have your client pc in your /etc/mail/access file. mine looks like so.......
Only needed and useful if you do not want to enforce authentification but bypass it.
then do a m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
If changes are only made within the access map file then rebuilding of the sendmail.cf is pointless. It even won't rebuild as there are no changes in the sendmail.mc.
then /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
Editing map files does not require a restart of the Sendmail daemon! Therefor they are hashed. On Fedora a Sendmail service restart too makes a manual call of m4 unnecessary.
