Ok - fixed the first issue (the HOSTNAME was in locals AND in esmtpacceptmailfor / hosteddomains - though this never caused me a problem before) and retested - still not working.
Here are the combinations: >From ANYONE TO hosteddomain NOT A RELAYCLIENT = ERROR >From ANYONE TO locals NOT A RELAYCLIENT = OK >From ANYONE TO hosteddomain & A RELIACLIENT = OK >From ANYONE TO hosteddomain & AUTHENTICATEDSMTP = OK So basically, normal reception of email from remote computers doesn't work and fails with that gdbm error: courieresmtpd: gdbm fatal: couldn't init cache courieresmtpd: submitclient: EOF from submit. Any authenticated SMTP or mail destined to a "local" domain works fine. All other functions (aliases, maildrop processing, etc.) work find through authenticated SMTP. Sorry for the poor explanation - It always seems clearer when I'm writing it ;-) Thanks. Appreciate the help - this box is supposed to take over some load in a few hours... nothing like working ot a deadline - eh? m/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sam Varshavchik Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 7:43 PM To: Courier Users Subject: [courier-users] Re: gdbm fatal: couldn't init cache -- any idea of the source?

One or the other, but not both. > Does this help narrow down the problem at all? Earlier you said that taking the sending IP address out of smtpaccess removes the problem. The two are completely orthogonal to each other. If you're saying that the presence of RELAYCLIENT is a factor, than you must be saying that it doesn't matter what the recipient address is; the only factor is the sending IP address. Now you think the issue is with the recipient domain after all. You need to decide what is the deciding factor, and go from there. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
