Hi Jason, I'm not sure if I got you right, but if you want to use your mail server outside your LAN, the most common setup would be in such a way that all PCs inside your LAN can send emails without SMTP AUTH but outside your LAN, SMTP AUTH would be required. Try something like this in your tcp.smtp file:
a.b.c:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" :allow,SMTPAUTH="" Hope this helps.

I'm kind of new to qmail, so my question probably sounds pretty elementary. I have a qmail-ldap server setup. Right now it only relays off of my local subnet (which I refer to below as a.b.c.) as per the instructions in the /etc/tcp.smtp file I want to implement SMTP AUTH so that I can roam outside my LAN. I changed my supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file from this: QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me` #some irrevelant if statements removed from email exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 to this, because of the text written on life with qmail-ldap, section 13.2: #everything unchanged except for this last line of code: exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/auth_smtp /usr/bin/true 2>&1 then I modified the /etc/tcp.smtp from this: a.b.c.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" :deny to this: a.b.c.:deny I've also tried variations of this, like a.b.c.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SMTPAUTH="" :deny but whatever I do to attempt to solve this problem either leads me wide open for relaying, or doesn't even let me send the auth credentials to begin with. Can someone please tell me the proper way of going around this problem? Thanks, -- Jason
