newbie on qmail

[Joel Gatdula Pira]

Hi,

I've just switched from sendmail to qmail. Almost every thing is working
fine except for my netscape mail.

In sendmail, I fetched my mail from an Exchange Server and used my local
machine for outgoing mails. Since switching from sendmail, I now get the
#5.7.1 message. I do understand that this is a relay problem. 

This is my tcm.smtp.

203.172.10.50:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow



203.172.10.50 is where I get my mail. And I do


tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp


However I still get the #5.7.1 error. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Creating aliases

[Joel Gatdula Pira]

Hi!

I am still new with qmail and I can't create an alias for an user.

Say, the user name is ABC and I want him to have an alias of DEC.
DEC is not a valid username.

What i did was to  echo ABC > .qmail-DEC.

Is this right? When I sent an email to DEC@localhost, I get an error.

Any help would be much appreciatted.

Re: Creating aliases

[Joel Gatdula Pira]

I was able to create an alias however it does not work when I use mutt when
I use the alias. I get an error no such user.

But with sqwebmail, I worked fine.

Any ideas?

Sending mail

[Joel Gatdula Pira]

I was able to set up pop3 and my students can get and read their email using 
their POP client.

However, they can not send to other host but mine.

Below  is the error message:

The message can not be sent because one of the recipient was rejected by the server 

Protocol SMTP, server response 553 sorry that domain isn't in my list of allowed 
rcpthosts (#5.7.1) .


Is it due to the fact that I don't do relay?


Or is it something else?
