Thanks for replying.
I just installed the tcpserver. since our server does not use
the inetd.conf file anymore instead it is using xinetd.d files.
i converted the inetd.conf file ( with the
tcpserver -v -u 502 -g 500 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
)
for the tcpserver, but i don't think it converted the file correctly.
the converted file for tcpserver is as follows:
Converted by inetdconvert
service tcpserver
{
socket_type = -v
protocol = -u
wait = yes
user = -g
server = 500
server_args = 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
disable = no
}
the above does not seem right.
shouldn't it be:
service tcpserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = tcpserver
server_args = -v -u 502 -g 500 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
disable = no
}
i am not sure, if i have the server info correct.

as far as this file is concerned, when i use this, i could not send emails to any
domain that were not included in this file. if this file was used to allow the
users from that domains to send email, it is ok. i just tried the empty file,
it is the same. yes! the rcpthost file came with the default installation, i
deleted because i could not add new host name whenever i need to send an email
to new domain host. rcpthost file does not seem to solve any security issue, since it
will still allow someone to send emails to those in that domain. is this because
i did not configure the qmail correctly? i think, i am not sure what the
rcpthosts is for. is the file(rcpthosts) used to allows only the users from
the domains listed in
rcpthosts to send out email or qmail users are allowed to send out email to
only those listed in the rcpthosts file? my qmail works like the latter case.
