If you use tcpserver (which I strongly suggest) you can use the relay
control scripts on qmail.org. I use this method and it works very well.
You can have tcpserver coexist with inetd, etc, just have inetd stop
controlling those services.
Follow the qmail HOWTO sections about tcpserver, and

Hello,
I've had a qmail running qmail-smtp and tcpserver for awhile now without
incident.. I'm using the selective relay scripts from russell I believe..
the method of adding IPs which expire overtime, and I also have a
tcp.filter.static file as well which allows certain IPs to always relay.
Apparently 256 means relaying denied.. =) I found a typo in the filters I
was using in my .cdb file.
Thanks for listening

Hello
I had the same problem with rh6.x when I first installed qmail. Looked at
syslog.conf and everything was valid but it still didn't work. I only made
it work by assuming something didn't work as it was supposed to..
Original sysconf.conf had mail.none in in the /var/log/messages line, with a
My guess is that you are missing a piece that is supposed to build a new cdb
when the user authenticates, not just add a IP record. For it to take
effect immediately, you need to add the IP and build a new CDB then. The
age one should run independent of the users authenticating.

How the heck can I enter in the shell the file name of the logs cyclog puts

Why don't you change your 'fullname' to not have those crappy hi-bit ansi
characters?
And what does 'not relay for special sender domain' mean? You want to be an
open relay, but not relay if from one domain? They'd just change their
domain name...
If you want selective relaying, read FAQ 5.4
Another good reason to use daemontools...

Sends an ALRM signal and forces the queue to process.

I'm trying to grasp how fastforward should be implemented, but the man pages

Except when it comes to supporting these clients.. Its much easier to simply
say 'call me only if you can not get your email but you can get to the web',
'if you can't get to the web, call your ISP tech support'.
I have this same setup, and I use smtp-after-pop3 method of selective
relaying.
You can use the open-smtp patch from Russell Nelson that allows any IP that
authenticates through Pop3 to relay through you for a certain period of
time.
Works by patching checkpassword and using tcpserver.
Look on www.qmail.org for open-smtp

Do you have your domain names you want to use 'full names' with in
control/locals ?
Domains listed in locals will be treated as local only, so any mail you
create on the system will not go out smtp, rather be delievered by qmail
internally.
You also have to have the domain names in

Where is your procmail delievering to? If you are using qmail-pop3d you

After setup, all the .0 files are in my source dir, but they have not been

Are they supposed to be installed during 'make setup check'?

How about using file names that I can actually type without having to use ''
