Hi Bryan,
There is a simpler way: just delete rcpthosts altogether!
However, RELAYCLIENT should work OK even with rcpthosts - it's what I do on
my home network. I have a Linux box running qmail under tcpserver and allow
relaying from any of the hosts on my internal network (192.168.0.*) by
setting RELAYCLIENT="" in the tcprules file for qmail-smtpd:
127.0.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
That, in conjunction with a suitable smtproutes entry should do what you
want.
I notice you're still using inetd; it's honestly worth moving to tcpserver.
There are some sample scripts on the qmail home page, and I believe Dave
Sill's "Living with Qmail" is useful reading.
