You've got some things mixed up... what the docs say is that :allow is
_redundant_, since that is the normal behavior. and that IS what you want. Everybody
is supposed to connect to your mail port.
You DO want to allow connections; the "trick" is to create an env. variable
named RELAYCLIENT when a connection comes from one of the specified networks. If that
variable doesn't exist, qmail won't relay, but will still allow connections.
Resuming, his file is OK. Something else is wrong, but we don't have enough
data to find out what that is (is there a cdb file? Is it being used by tcpserver? is
there a control/rcpthosts file?)
