hi, i recently installed qmail and am wondering what exactly to do with rcpthosts file. if a domain is not listed in that file i cannot send mali to it? but then, wouldnt rcpthosts file have to contain every domain on the internet? i am very confused on this one here... right now, my domain name is listed in the rcpthosts, and that what the manual says - put your machine name into rcpthosts. but in this case i can send mail only to myself. and if i remove rcpthosts all together, my machine becomes an open relay, something i definetly dont want. so to summarize all this mess: i would like my qmail to accept any mail coming from my machine, deny relaying from anywhere else, and send the mail to any host on the internet. i was digging through installation manual of qmail for 2 days now, and got so confused, that this mailing list is my only hope thanks a lot max - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
