Check the file /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. It should contain (along with whatever other _local_ domains you've got (plus virtuals)), plus localhost. If you're trying to run Netscape on a different machine and inject mail, you'll have to set up selective relaying. Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" does a good job of covering this topic.

pop3 outgoing config issue
I can send a message to a remote host using: echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject but I cannot do so from a pop3 MUA, netsacpe. When I try I get a dialog: Sorry that's not in my list of rtpchosts (#5.7.1) If I add remote.com to rtpchosts it works, but I should not have to add every possible mail host on the 'net in this file. Is this a qmail-pop3d issue? If so where do I tell it to forward mail to unknown hosts. Thanks, bruce.
