I have a dilema : I'm doing web hosting, including POP3 accounts. POP3
users need to be able to receive mail from anywhere, and send mail through
the SMTP server *to* anywhere, so I think that I'm going to have to allow
relaying to anywhere.
First question : is there another way? the PO
Either do POP-before-SMTP, or run your SMTP relay on a port other than the
standard one.

Exactly what tracking problems have you had trouble solving? Are you
aware that qmailanalog will match up the delivery lines for you?

Wow, that's big. My Apple II has only 48K RAM. Nice to hear that qmail

Have you actually read the IBM Secure Mailer license?
The license demands that you stop using the IBM Secure Mailer upon IBM's
request. You are explicitly required to destroy every copy you possess
of the IBM Secure Mailer.

Yes. For example,

Hi all,
I have a mailing list set up using the .qmail- feature. I have

For the sake of accuracy, the normal SMTP form *is* just the email

the problem is with netscape and eudora.
You can see from the logs that the domain was being stripped, because those
email clients assume you are stupid and strip off the @domain.
lucky for you that vchkpw supports user%domain and user_domain as well.
Tell your client to switch to one of those.
