sigh. whenever a user sends mail to my qmail server and that user's ip is
not the /etc/tcp.smtp file, the mail gets bounced.
that's not the way things should be. i'm using a separate smtp server, so
why would it refuse the message? i thought rcpthosts was only for allowing
users to use the server as a relay.
when i use an ip that is allowed in /etc/tcp.smtp, it behaves ok and the
recipient gets the mail.
am i missing something here?
thanks a bunch!
