No. I was suggesting replacing rcpthosts with mxhosts and having smail-smtpd read virtualdomains, locals and mxhosts. Having looked at "man qmail-control" I've decided that the reason Dan did things this way is that qmail-smtpd only has to read/check one file (rcpthosts), rather than three (virtualdomains, locals and mxhosts). It's a typical tradeoff: simpler program vs requiring people to read the documentation and put the right things in rcpthosts. I think I'll just make things work the way I want by making my own mxhosts and having an automatic procedure which builds rcpthosts appropriately. Or better yet, make the procedure which builds morercpthosts do it my way. > Greetz, Peter. > -- > .| Peter van Dijk | <mo|VERWEG> stoned worden of coden > .| [EMAIL PROTECTED] | <mo|VERWEG> dat is de levensvraag > | <mo|VERWEG> coden of stoned worden > | <mo|VERWEG> stonend worden En coden > | <mo|VERWEG> hmm > | <mo|VERWEG> dan maar stoned worden en slashdot lezen:) > -- "Life is much too important to be taken seriously."
