Okan, My .forward is empty right now, but thanks for trying to help. Eric, Thank you very much for the tip. I thought all of my conf files had taken care of domain naming, but somehow my ISPs domain name was still slipping through as shown when running smtpd -d -T smtp.
I thought supersede domain-name "foo.org" (in dhclient.conf) would have addressed that, but obviously I still don't know very much about configuring network stuff. Anyway, I turned some knobs and it works now (I'll go back and see which knob worked later). Back to my desktop, I get error 550. There's a squawk about permissions on my .forward file (see below), but: # ls -l ~/.forward: -rw-r--r-- 1 scott users 0B May 8 18:36 .forward My home dir is mounted as an NFS share of my home dir on the server. This wouldn't mean anything though, would it? # grep home /etc/fstab: foo:/home /home nfs rw,nodev,nosuid 0 0 # smtpd -d -T smtp: info: OpenSMTPD 5.3 starting debug: bounce warning after 4h debug: using "fs" queue backend debug: using "ramqueue" scheduler backend debug: using "ram" stat backend info: startup [debug mode] debug: init server-ssl tree debug: init client-ssl tree debug: enabling parent -> control debug: enabling lka -> parent debug: enabling mfa -> parent debug: enabling scheduler -> control debug: enabling parent -> lka debug: enabling lka -> queue debug: enabling mfa -> smtp debug: enabling scheduler -> queue debug: enabling parent -> mda debug: enabling lka -> smtp debug: enabling mfa -> control debug: enabling parent -> mfa debug: enabling lka -> mda debug: disabling mfa -> smtp debug: enabling parent -> mta debug: enabling lka -> mta debug: enabling parent -> smtp debug: enabling lka -> control debug: enabling parent -> queue debug: disabling lka -> mda debug: parent_send_config_ruleset: reloading debug: disabling lka -> mta debug: parent_send_config_mfa: reloading debug: enabling mta -> parent debug: disabling lka -> smtp debug: parent_send_config: configuring smtp debug: enabling queue -> parent debug: mfa ready debug: enabling mfa -> smtp debug: enabling control -> scheduler debug: enabling mda -> parent debug: enabling smtp -> control debug: enabling smtp -> parent debug: enabling smtp -> lka debug: enabling smtp -> mfa debug: enabling lka -> mda debug: enabling smtp -> queue debug: enabling lka -> mta debug: enabling lka -> smtp debug: enabling mta -> queue debug: smtp: listen on 127.0.0.1 port 25 flags 0x0 cert "" debug: smtp: listen on IPv6:fe80::1%lo0 port 25 flags 0x0 cert "" debug: smtp: listen on IPv6:::1 port 25 flags 0x0 cert "" debug: smtp: will accept at most 501 clients debug: enabling queue -> control debug: enabling queue -> smtp debug: enabling queue -> mda debug: enabling queue -> mta debug: enabling queue -> lka debug: enabling queue -> scheduler debug: enabling control -> queue debug: queue: done loading queue into scheduler debug: enabling mda -> queue debug: enabling mda -> lka debug: enabling mda -> control debug: enabling control -> smtp debug: enabling mta -> lka debug: enabling control -> mfa debug: enabling control -> parent debug: enabling control -> lka debug: enabling control -> mda debug: enabling control -> mta debug: enabling mta -> control debug: smtpd: scanning offline queue... debug: smtpd: enqueueing offline message /var/spool/smtpd/offline/1368058424.j7H5iKKPTa debug: smtpd: offline scanning done debug: enabling control -> parent debug: smtp: new client on listener: 0x3c013ae0 smtp: 0x7ed9f000: STATE_NEW -> STATE_CONNECTED smtp-in: New session 000000008e9a3b98 from host 0@localhost [local] smtp: 0x7ed9f000: >>> 220 foo.bar.org ESMTP OpenSMTPD smtp: 0x7ed9f000: <<< EHLO localhost smtp: 0x7ed9f000: STATE_CONNECTED -> STATE_HELO smtp: 0x7ed9f000: >>> 250-foo.bar.org Hello localhost [local], pleased to meet you smtp: 0x7ed9f000: >>> 250-8BITMIME smtp: 0x7ed9f000: >>> 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES smtp: 0x7ed9f000: >>> 250-SIZE 36700160 smtp: 0x7ed9f000: >>> 250 HELP smtp: 0x7ed9f000: <<< MAIL FROM: <r...@foo.bar.org> smtp: 0x7ed9f000: >>> 250 Ok smtp: 0x7ed9f000: <<< RCPT TO: <r...@foo.bar.org> warn: smtpd: parent_forward_open: /home/scott/.forward: Permission denied smtp: 0x7ed9f000: >>> 550 Invalid recipient smtp-in: Failed command on session 000000008e9a3b98: "RCPT TO: < r...@foo.bar.org>" => 550 Invalid recipient sendmail: command failed: 550 Invalid recipient smtp-in: Received disconnect from session 000000008e9a3b98 debug: smtp: 0x7ed9f000: deleting session: disconnected warn: smtpd: couldn't enqueue offline message /var/spool/smtpd/offline/1368058424.j7H5iKKPTa; smtpctl exited abnormally -Scott On Tue, May 7, 2013 at 11:07 PM, Eric Faurot <e...@faurot.net> wrote: > On Tue, May 07, 2013 at 05:23:35PM -0700, Scott wrote: > > Greetings all, > > > > I was excited to try out smtpd because of future plans to go away from > > webmail.
