My configuration is slightly different: My RH-7.0 uses xinetd so the /etc/xinetd.d/smtp file has this entry (from the xinetd FAQ page: http://www.xinetd.org/faq.html#qmail)... service smtp { flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = qmaild server = /usr/sbin/tcpd server_args = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env -R /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd } ...and the /etc/hosts.allow file has a single entry... ALL:ALL Local delivery works between users though system-aliases (e.g., .qmail-root) do not. Please help. Eric P.
