You haven't given permission for the other computers on your
internal network to relay mail through your SMTP server. On SuSE,
there is a file, /etc/mail/access (and a compiled version of it,
access.db, that you have to rebuild after you edit access by
using makemap), that determines which hosts can send mail through
your server. I believe that RedHat does something similar, but
they may not put the file in the same place.
