On my set up I never modified the assign file at all it was all done by qmail. It is possible that something in the assign file is incorrect, or file permissions/ownership have changed in which case it may be the cause of the problem, but it's hard to say.
It sounds like it might be easier, to uninstall qmail and start from scratch. Get the one domain working fine first, then add the virtual or alias domains in one at a time testing each as you go along. Only modify files that you really need to and leave the rest up to qmail. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 May 2007 14:32 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] rcpthosts file Benedict: I think if I remove the rcpthosts file the server will act as an open relay, right? Which is somethinng I don't want to do, of course:-) (Correct me if I'm wrong) Craig, When I tried to remove the vdomains with vdeldomain I have this message: # /home/vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain company.com Warning: Alias domains exist: company.gr company.net use -f to force delete of domain and all aliases This remembers me that I had modified manually the /var/qmail/users/assign file like this: +company.com-:company.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/company.com:-:: +company.gr-:company.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/company.com:-:: +company.net-:company.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/company.com:-:: I thought I did this in order to have all users assigned to a single .com domain but I don't think this would be the reason of the problem right?
