Your qmail-smtpd doesn't seem to know that the client you are connecting from
is a local machine, and therfore it should relay mail from from that client.
(When the recipient's address is outside your local domain, that's relaying)
To tell qmail-smtpd to automatically relay anything that comes in from a particular
SMTP session, qmail-smtpd needs to see a RELAYCLIENT variable in it's
environment.
if smtp line in your /etc/inetd.conf has tcp-env in it, something like this:
smtp stream tcp nowait.200 qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
Then, you need to tell tcp-env to setup that variable before it calls qmail-smtp. Add
this to your /etc/hosts.allow file to do that:
tcp-env: 192.168.1., 127.0.0. : setenv = RELAYCLIENT
(Change the IP addresses to the IP's of clients whose mail you want to relay, and
don't forget their trailing dots.)
