Re: [PLUG] relay

["M. Jackson Wilkinson" <jackw@slinky.jounce.net>]

I think this is what you're asking, provided that hisdomain.com in your 
example was the local domain on the qmail server you were attempting to 
use, and that it wasn't limited to hotmail or yahoo either.

in qmail, regular external connections can only send mail to domains 
that qmail has been told to accept in control/rcpthosts (/etc/qmail or 
/var/qmail usually)...

if you want to be a relay for s specific set of hosts, create or edit 
/etc/tcp.smtp and add lines like so:

10.1.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
10.2.1.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

the first line will allow 10.1.1.0/24 (10.1.1.*) to use your host as a 
relay to any domain, and the second will allow that one system 10.2.1.1 
to do the same.

then issue a

tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp

to activate the changes

... if tcp.smtp was new, you'll have to add "-x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb" after 
 tcpserver in your init scripts.

Best,
Jack
