I am trying to send mail from host FROM_HOST (1.2.3.4) to host TO_HOST
(1.2.3.5). The mail is addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". qmail is running on
both hosts. Unfortunately, TO_HOST refuses the mail. However, TO_HOST
will accept the mail if it is addressed to "user@domain".

Both the qmail/control/rcpthosts and qmail/control/locals files on
TO_HOST contain:

    [1.2.3.5]
    domain

The following is a snip of the error message presented by FROM_HOST when
TO_HOST rejects mail addressed in the form "user@ip_address" rather than
"user@domain":

    Hi. This is the qmail-send program at FROM_HOST.
    I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
      addresses.
    This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

    <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
    1.2.3.5 does not like recipient.
    Remote host said: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of
      allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
    Giving up on 1.2.3.5.

Is there additional information I must add to the
qmail/control/rcpthosts file on TO_HOST to coax TO_HOST into accepting
mail addressed in the form "user@ip_address"?

Thanks!

- Bernie
