Cant sent to yahoo or hotmail

2001-04-18 Thread Andrew Wafula

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

There is no entry of the sending host (relayhost) in the rcpthosts-file.
Possible that SSL makes also trouble and the hostname is encrypted and can 
not be authenticated by the rcpthosts-file.

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.
