I guess I don't fully understand the tcpserver part of it. I know if the
domain is not in rcpthosts it will not relay... but if I start tcpserver
WITHOUT -x it will deny ALL relaying?
I see it as "If I want to selective relay, use -x with a list of all ip's
to set RELAYCLIENT, otherwise no -x will allow all ip's to relay".
Or is it "If I want to selective relay, use -x with a list of all ip's
to set RELAYCLIENT, otherwise no ip's will be allowed to relay".
One of them should be close???
Thanks all.
