You still failed to show us _why_ you think you are relaying. Show us a complete SMTP session where you think it is realying but shouldn't, and in the same mail post the contens of control/rcpthosts and your tcpserver's acces control file. > ps: and sorry for also sending PM, I forgot to tell mutt about this > list :-) Oh yeah, know that ;-)) -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

Hi, you're totally right, I forgot top post the logs and outputs. So I telneted from a different host and ...: Relaying was rejected! So sorry for bothering around, right now I just have _no_ idea why I thought I'd run an open Relayserver. Strange thing, must be the headache I got all day... Thx && sorry for useless traffic. regards johannes

Qmail makes the determination in qmail-getpw after determining the local part: pw = getpwnam(username); What does: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-getpw alias ...return? It should be something like: alias1000102/var/qmail/alias If it's not, you have some kind of problem there.

This was my first try setting up qmail... my second try was much better (on another linux mandrake machine), it has none of these problems. my next step is vmailmgr and oMailadmin... any pitfalls to be aware of? I have already read the howto and some of the docs... Thanks!

I need help with a virtual domain. One of our sister companies site has been down for a while, and email is starting to bounce to their domain. We were going to setup qmail to be able to at least hold their mail, until either 1) we were able to create the necessary alias's or 2) their site comes online. I created entries in control/rcpthosts, and control/virtualdomains: control/rcpthosts: ourdomain.com sisterdomain.com control/virtualdomains: ourdomain.com:ourdomain-com sisterdomain.com:alias But when I restart qmail, all mail for their domain starts bouncing because I dont have their alias's setup yet. Is there a way around this? Please help Matt
Hi,I have installed qmail-1.03+checkpassword-0.90, And i have patch the qmail with qmail-smtpd-auth-0.30 I use tcpserver to start qmail-smtpd: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -u501 hostname 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /bin/checkpassword /bin/true & when i telnet hostname 25 I find auth has worked, but the checkpassword is NOT working rightly, I input the wrong userid and password and i can pass the auth, why?
HI! Is it possibly to create virtual aliases (like in sendmail) ? In sendmail I have: --------cut------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------cut------------------------------- Is it possible to do this in qmail ?
