Just FYI:
Those access privs for your tcpserver are really wide.
130 is not just your friend's ISP...
An example, 130.114.x.y is a military network at APG, MD, with several
thousand hosts that have nothing to do with anybody's ISP.
I'd clamp those ranges down, to say 130.x.y. for that ISP you want to allow,
and I'd recommend the same for the 204.60 subnets - best solution is to cut
it down as far as possible, not leave it wide open.
I'm sure you can limit the 192.168.x also.
Not that this has anything to do with your problem, but if you're going to
use access lists, mind as well use them to provide as much protection as
possible.

Subject: can't send mail from outside
Ok. I have qmail set up for one domain on a box called visarium.com. Its
supposed to handle all mail for visarium.com.
I have pop3d setup and smtpd set up both under tcpserver.
in /etc/tcp.smtp(yes, i have tcprules set) i have:
204.60.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.:allow,ReLAYCLIENT=""
130.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
204.60. are my dialup isp's addresses(for sending mail through
mail.visarium.com)
192.168. is of course for the internal network routed through that machine
130. is for my friend's isp
here is the problem:
the visarium.com qmail setup delivers mail from ONLY my isp's smtp
server(204.60.*) to a user on visarium.com(such as [EMAIL PROTECTED],
my account) but not from anywhere else. in the log, i get the following
error in the visarium.com smtp log file when trying to send mail from
another domain, such as hotmail.com(but any other domain does the same
thing, so its not that hotmail blacklisted or anything):
Nov 17 17:32:13 visarium qmail: 942877933.066364 delivery 120: deferral:
Sorry, _I_couldn't_find_any_host_by_that_name._(#4.1.2)/
Obviously there's something wrong with my configuration, but im not sure
what...
Also, not only can i not recieve email from say, hotmail.com, i can't send
mail to hotmail.com either...
can somebody, anybody, help? Thanks.
