Hi all,
I've got qmail running properly on a system with a DMZ-firewall setup.
All the local clients are behind the firewall, addressed as 192.168.0.n.
The firewall (a debian box) and the mail server are connected to our
ADSL router and both have class-C addresses. The clients all have hosts
files referencing the mail server.
My tcp.smtp file has proper settings to allow the local clients to work
as RELAYCLIENTS:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
(I've recompiled it just to be sure and, yes, the reference in the qmail
startup script points to the proper file '-x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb')
If I create a rcpthosts file with just the local domain in it (that's
all I want), then every local client that tries to send mail out to the
'net gets a qmail error message saying the destination domain is not in
the list of receipt hosts (or something to that effect).
Is the problem that qmail, running on a mail server, with it's class-C
address, doesn't like the "192" block addresses in tcp.smtp? I've set up
qmail servers before as multihomed systems with a class-C card *and* and
internal one. Must I do that here?
Thanks
