hey hey wait a minute. rcpthosts doesn't have anything to do with the
local users? so why couldn't any of the users send a mail to the rest of
the world when rcpthosts included only my host? i removed the file and now
users can send mail to everywhere. at first i also thought as you
explained, the file should include the hosts that are allowed to use my
machine as relay but the reality is different, it seems (?).
i'm confused...
