Hi gang.

I have qmail setup and working fine from my internal network.  I've setup a
POP3 account for a friend (more for the exercise of doing it, rather than
them really using the mailbox), and they can receive messages fine.  They
can even send email to me no problems.  However, when they try to send mail
to an outside server, they get an error:

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by
the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Subject
'test', Account: 'Yahoo', Server: 'www.open2space.com%27%2c Protocol: SMTP,
Server Response: '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed
rcpthosts (#5.7.1)', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error
Number: 0x800CCC79

There are two things that make me wonder...
1) why is the email server (the www.open2space.com) getting garbled (notice
the characters after the .com?)
2) If she is authenticating against my server (as she must have to get the
POP3 email, and has the outgoing mail server setup for the same
authentication), then why is mail relay being denied?

This isn't too critical - it's probably better that she doesn't route smpt
traffic through my box, but now I'm curious what is not setup right...

If it helps, she is connecting to my server from outside my network.  She
does have a shell account on the server, and can recieve POP3 mail.  I don't
want an open mail relay (of course), but would think that authenticated
users should be able to relay...

Any thoughts?

Shawn
