Got a problem here. Using tcpserver to control relay's, but it also blocks
local mail. Noticed that once we got tcpserver locked down that the volume
of mail diminished, and the queue was getting huge. Here is a tcp.smtp
snipette:
207.179.223.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
198.102.252.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
The :allow at the end makes the server an open relay! Not acceptable. But
changing that to deny causes the above symptoms. Here is how qmail is
started:
/bin/csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 200 -v -u 201 -g 200 0
smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 200 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
leviathan.mtco.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
The domains we wish to accept local mail for are in control/me locals
rcpthosts or virtualdomans files.
Any suggestions as to the error I've made?
