It means you aren't an open relay. If you authenticate via POP3 first, then you should be able to send mail from that IP. > Do I have to check this or has this already been done automatically? The POP-before-SMTP stuff is automatic. That is why you use the tcp.smtp.cdb file in the vpopmail/etc directory. clearopensmtp is not automatic, as the vpopmail makefile will not go adding things to crontab for you. I do believe that Debian vpopmail package sets this up. However, it just requires adding a single like to root's crontab: 40 * * * * root /path/to/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp > /dev/null 2>&1 -- David Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://david.acz.org/
