The file which determines who can use qmail to relay is /etc/tcp.smtp 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=3D"" 192.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=3D"" :allow The first two lines allow localhost and local network to relay using the box, the third line I believe allows anyone to send mail to the box. If the people using your qmail have fairly static ip addys, then just added them to this file with the relayclient option. Ranges of ips are enabled via dropping the last octet as shown in line two above. After modifying tcp.smtp, you need to run this line for tcpserver /usr/local/bin/tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp Hope this helps. >=20 > In fact, if your system is an open relay, you should=20 > disconnect it from the net until you have it closed.
