[ale] Sendmail relay problem

[sangell at nan.net]

That might work internally but what about from outside of that network. I
have the mail server behind a firewall on a 192.168.0.x subnet, am port
forwarding to the mail box and am using dynamic DNS have a registered
domain pointing to my network. I am wanting select individuals to be able
to connect to the server via the internet and whatever client they wish to
use.
Won't adding the "192.168.0     RELAY"  only help me if I am at home? Maybe
I am missing something in the way sendmail authorizes relaying but that
looks like it would only work on the local subnet.
