Hi,
I have been using Linux for the past couple of months and have installed
qmail to handle the mail for a small group of eight users. I am
connecting to an ISP
using ppp, the mail clients are MS Outlook and Netscape communicator.
The problem I have been trying to solve is with regard to remote inbound
message routing. Any mail's picked up from
the ISP's server are being routed fine to the local users, but if an
external
address as been included in the "TO:" or CC: field then qmail
will put it in the outbound ppp queue. I'm sure that this is something
easy and obvious to solve but have not been able to find any help in
FAQ's or the
mailing list archive (or maybe I'm just being thick!). Below are my
questions which I would
appreciate some pointers (or even a fix) to help resolve my problems.
please be
warned that as a newbie I may have done some things that might make
experienced qmail users squirm...
Q1.) I was having trouble getting external mail into the ~alias\pppdir
queue so I junked rcpthosts. I know this
is a bad thing...so how do I keep rcpthosts and still send to any e-mail
address without having an extremley long rcpthosts file?
Q2.) Mail is forwarded from my ISP to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
on my server, I then instruct qmail to put everything for postmaster
into
the mail queue by inserting "|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" into
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster This is where (obviously) the
external address is being
picked up and the message is sent to the outbound ppp queue. How do I
get external addresses
on inbound mail's ignored?
Thanking you in anticipation,
-Mark.
