Isn't qpopper for pop, not smtp? Why would the rcpthosts file affect it
then? In any case, an RCPTHOSTS file error can mean either what it says
(the site ISN'T in the file) or it could mean if your blocking based on IP
addresses that whatever your tcprules.cdb file is isn't setup right. Make
sure you have your domain in there, and that RELAYCLIENT is set and :allow
is set.
