Hi, I have just done a fresh install of qmail and vpopmail, on Mandrake 9.1, following Dave Sill, http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html for the qmail installation. qmail is running fine; i.e. all four daemons are running and inst_check reports that all is well.
I also managed to install vpopmail and add domains and users. Booth messages injected locally (using qmail-inject) and incomming messages via smtp (from KMail on another machine) duely arrive in the appropriate Maildir/new. However, when I attempt to send to an extern email-address (from KMail) qmail responds with the error message: "sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1.)". OK, the messaage is from qmail, but I think it is related to vpopmail, as I also have qmail (without vpopmail) running on another PC, and on with that machine I have no problems sending to external addresses. I installed vpopmail as follows: ./configure --enable-file-sync=y --enable-roaming-users=y make make install-strip and put 10.0.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT 192.168.2.:allow,RELAYCLIENT into /etc/tcp.smtp and added 40 * * * * /home/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp 2>&1 /dev/null to crontab. The last response to [vchkpw] smtp;553 sorry, sorry, that domain isn't allowed relay (#5.7.1) i.e http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg14771.html suggest putting 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT into /etc/tcp.smtp I have also tried that, but it didn't make any difference. Booth the above response and the vpopmail install instructions mention /etc/tcp.smtp, but I can find anything about /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp What's the latter for? Any ideas what's wrong? Regards Sigmund.
