HELO I have a kinda odd situation (I know so does everybody else) I have smtp and pop3 working fine from a workstation that is accessing the email server thru a MASQ'd firewall connection. The install is standard LWQ using tcpserver for everything including qmail-pop3d - which seems to work just fine. I can send a message to my own user and recieve it back with netscape just fine. But if I try to send a message to anyone outside my local domain I get the dreaded: sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts If I put the destination domain in my rcpthosts it accepts and processes the email just fine. It would appear that qmail does not recognize that my request is coming from a local domain - since I am MASQ'd I have my MASQ server listed in the /etc/tcp.smtp(?) file for tcpserver with the proper env setting to bypass rcpthosts.... The odd thing is that I do not have a DNS entry for this server yet so I am using the IP of the server to send to it from outside with entries in the locals file for that address - which seems to work OK. What should I look at ? Thanks Kevin Kling __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
