pop3 and sendmail

[Thrasher]

Hi, I have spent almost all week trying to get my mail server to recieve mail. I can send mail from it anywhere using kmail, evolution, outlook, etc. I cannot send mail to it though. When setting up my pop3 settings in any MUA, I get a message of: connot connect to (mailserver domainname).
I do see errors in maillog about relaying not allowed.
Im sure it is something simple, but I cant find it.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Using sendmail, qpopper and slackware.

advice: get rid of sendmail, it is terrible to config, full of security holes, old, and buggy.

try postfix of qmail. for ease of setup, I suggest postfix.

Sendmail needs to be told that it can relay mail for your domain. This goes in access.db. Also, note that sendmail will not take mail fron the 'net, unless the .cf file is adjusted to do so. That is widely documented, here, and on the 'net.
