Cant sent to yahoo or hotmail
Hi, I have configured qmail as per instructions but when i try to send to yahoo or hotmail i get the following error: The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Subject 'test', Account: 'pop3.marson-net.com', Server: '212.49.77.118', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 Why should it try to deliver external mail to itself? Please help. Andrew

Possible that SSL makes also trouble and the hostname is encrypted and can not be authenticated by the rcpthosts-file. Regards, Ruprecht

It doesn't. It looks like you try to use your qmail server as an outgoing relay. qmail-smtpd does only accept email for hosts listed in control/rcpthosts. If you want to relay messages (i.e. not deliver to local accounts) qmail will reject them, except if the environment variable "RELAYCLIENT" is set, in that case qmail will relay the message. Please have a look at http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#authorized-relay for basic infos on how to setup authorized relays.
