Then you have tcpserver set up to do selective relaying. There's no other way
around it. If some host connects to you and says:
RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and your host says:
250 ok
then microsoft.com is in rcpthosts, or you don't even have a rcpthosts file, or
you've set RELAYCLIENT for the host that's sending this message.

qmail doesn't do any folding, or ironing for that matter. host.domain.com is
one domain, and domain.com is another. If you don't have host.domain.com in
rcpthosts (or a wildcard .domain.com), then host.domain.com gets rejected,
without regard for how you handle domain.com.

You can't get the "list of allowed rcpthosts" message from a host which is
allowed to relay, so I did assume that you were trying to send from a host that
wasn't allowed to relay.
