there are references to adding the hostname all over
the mailing list otherwise its an open relay.
So I added it to the qmail-smtp run file as such:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd [HOSTNAME] \
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1
[HOSTNAME] is hte actual name of the host its running
on.
Why? in the later version does it NOT need to be
here?
