Sigh - I just went through this last month with relay issues between Qmail
and Sendmail - and now I've got the same problem with Qmail to Qmail..
I've got Qmail on a DMZ host. No percenthack, good rcpthosts file/etc.
Relaying of the form "user@remote" to "user@remote2" fails as expected. Mail
from "user@remote" to "user@[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is accepted and passed onto
our internal LAN Qmail server. Now the DMZ host is on a different subnet than
our LAN - so the LAN Qmail server thinks the incoming SMTP session is from a
foreigner - but it still accepts it...
If I connect from the DMZ host to the interal LAN Qmail server and attempt a
manual "user@remote" to "user@remote2" - that fails with the "no relaying"
error. However "user@[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is accepted and past onto the
appropriate smtproute rule. End result, relaying does occur...
Why does Qmail treat xxx@sss@ttt addresses differently than it treats
xxx@sss addresses when it comes to relaying checks?
Anyone know how this is meant to be worked around?
