Hello amish, good morning.
Just to make sure why qmail is relaying and what domains it isn't allowig to rely perform this check.
Check the config files for qmail and see what the local domain has been configured for. Besides that, to allow smtp relaying put in the ip addresses for all those local ip addressed that you would wanna relay for.
Telnet again to the machine once you have added the appropriate entries into /etc/tcp.smtp and resend the mail again. Be sure to relad the CDB file after you update /etc/tcp.smtp cause qmail won't change the routing preferences until the reolad of the cdb file has been done.
Check that out and let us know.
Bye for now and have a great day.
Trevor

Hi all,
I want to check if my qmail installation is relaying mails for other hosts. I do a simple check like
telnet localhost 25 MAIL FROM:someone@nonlocal.com RCPT TO:someother@nonlocal.com {output is relaying allowed this is ok since it is a local telnet and I have 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" in /etc/tcp.smtp}
Next I do a telnet 10.10.12.21 25 (my private IP) MAIL FROM:someone@nonlocal.com RCPT TO:someother@nonlocal.com {output is 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)}
So can I conclude that the external mails are not being relayed?
But now the problem starts. qmailctl stat gives :
/service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 22067) 9174 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 22066) 9174 seconds /service/qmail-send: up (pid 22062) 9174 seconds /service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 22063) 9174 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 22064) 9174 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 22065) 9174 seconds messages in queue: 32 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
And the messages are for external hosts, 20 Dec 2002 03:09:33 GMT #58808 4955 <> remote bounce.1194.39868523@bounce.bnb4.com 19 Dec 2002 17:21:14 GMT #58786 3714 <> remote adp501@friendly984send.com 20 Dec 2002 03:13:21 GMT #58809 5443 <> remote pro@speedsoffrslistings873009118273.com 19 Dec 2002 11:04:45 GMT #58787 23375 <> remote gbw135@isp3845mailer45.com 20 Dec 2002 04:11:52 GMT #58810 3563 <> remote adp124@friend284mail.com
So my server is probably relaying mails, most seem to be bouncing mails.My /var/log/qmail/current is having entries like
@400000003e02aa63234a85e4 delivery 98: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ @400000003e02aa63234aa13c status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
Thanks in advance.
Bye.
