Hi,

after reading through the mailing list archives my understanding concerning
qmail relaying is that: rcpthosts is used only for checking the recipients
domain. What about the sender address then? Coming from a sendmail background
I would like the following behaviour:

1. allow sending from everywhere to the local domain (that works through
rcpthosts)

2. allow sending from somewhere else (MUA) via the qmail-smtpd to somewhere else
(the difference to 3. is that the sender address is a local address)

3. prohibit sending from somewhere else to somewhere else with no local
address (relaying in my understanding)


Is there a way to make 2. work without using one of the "first pop then smtp"
packages? I guess 2. still allows spammers to use the server as a relay to
some extent, but only by forging a local address (in which case it might be
of only limited use to them ..)

thanks for your help
--Oliver
