In other words, will I have two tcpserver scripts, one invoking the pop-3 and the other the qmail smtpd? If I remember your setup, yes. Think of tcpserver as a meta-daemon -- it binds to one TCP port on your machine and accepts connections. For each connection, it spawns a specified program which reads and writes data from and to that connection. Therefore, if you want to use it for two different ports (different services, like SMTP and POP3), you need to run two different instances of tcpserver. As I said, I am a complete newbie with email and no great shakes with much of this stuff to begin with. I hope you folks aren't getting to tired of answering these dumb questions. This list generally doesn't tire of questions from people who are willing to do some work, experiment, and report honest results. If you want to help yourself further, I would recommend reading everything at cr.yp.to, especially concerning ucspi-tcp, daemontools, and qmail, as well as everything linked to from www.qmail.org.

I have a feeling I'll get laughed at, but here goes. I'm not using svscan.

So now methinks I should be able to relay, no? no. Same message, "5.5.3 sorry, blah blah blah". The .cdb file is fine, but you're not being allowed to relay. Therefore, the problem is in your qmail-smtpd start script. Please post that. If you're using svscan, post the contents of .../service/smtpd/run .

You need to change this; take it out of inetd.conf and kill -HUP inetd. Start qmail-smtpd with tcpserver -- if you want, you can supervise and svscan it as well. The tcpserver invocation must include the option and value "-x /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb". So the problem was that the .cdb file was never being consulted, and therefore the RELAYCLIENT environment variable was not being set (conditionally or not).

OK, I'm a newbie with most of this stuff, but I'm having a problem invoking smtp with tcpserver. Trying this: tcpserver -v -R -x /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup hoss.willysworkshop.com \ /bin/checkpassword /usr/sbin/relay-ctrl-allow /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 | \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d Okay, a couple of problems here. One, you're trying to bind to the pop3 port (the argument pop-3). That should be either "smtp" or "25". Two, you're not invoking the right program. Try something more like: tcpserver g GID -u UID -DRvX \ -x /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb 0 smtp \ qmail-smtpd Change GID and UID to the GID and UID values that the server should run as. The last argument is the program which tcpserver runs for each connection. -v turns on some status messages, -R turns off ident lookups on the remote host, -D turns on TCP_NODELAY, -X says accept connections even if the cdb file doesn't exist.
