Ok. I've set qmail up before with no problems but 
for some reason a machine which I installed it on
today does not seem to be working right.

It seems to refuse all mail sent to it from outside
the local host.

An example:

"Remote host said: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my
list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
Giving up."

However, the domain that I'm sending to IS in
the rcpthosts and in the locals file. 

Even stranger, none of the attempted deliveries and
subsequent bounces are logged! Connections from
the local machine are logged fine(telneting to port
25 and sending a test message by hand for example),
but when I send mail from outside(yahoo mail in this
case), nothing ever shows up in the logs.

I've noticed that all of /var/qmail/control is 
owned by root, could this cause the problems?

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid for which I will
soon find the answer, but any advice would still
be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jack
