It defaults to allow (which would be a single ":allow" line). Setting RELAYCLIENT for an IP tells qmail-smtpd to allow it to relay mail. Normally, this file contains all IP's on your network, assuming you want them to relay through qmail. The following is an example. RBLSMTPD is only needed if you are using rblsmtpd. Leaving it blank tells rblsmtpd to not perform lookups against that address (you don't want it looking up your own addresses): 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="" 192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="" > My run file is (I just changed the path of the vpopmail-home): If your domains directory is on /var, then make sure you have enough space for all the mail. > #!/bin/sh > QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` > NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` > MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` As a tip, you can get rid of QMAILDUID and NOFILESGID by adding -U to the tcpserver command line and using "envuidgid qmaild" as the first thing after exec. > exec softlimit -m 2000000 \ > tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /var/lib/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c > "$MAXSMTPD" \ > -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp qmail-smtpd 2>&1 > > When I try to send a message I get the 5.7.1 error. > I read all the documentation for Newbies on relaying from Chris. Does your tcp.smtp file set RELAYCLIENT for the IP that you are sending from? vpopmail will create vpopmail/etc/open-smtp that it merges with tcp.smtp when building tcp.smtp.cdb. It does this automatically for any IP that successfully authenticates via POP3 (or anything using vchkpw, such as Courier IMAP). tcp.smtp.cdb is automatically rebuilt when this happens. You need to make sure vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp is being run from cron every 30-60 minutes, otherwise these IP's will never expire. -- David Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://david.acz.org/
