Hi, If you look on the command line for qmail-smtpd, you'll notice that you are reading /etc/tcp.cdb and not /var/vpopmail/etc/tcp.cdb

I got my problem with Qmail not sending email to the proper mailbox fixed. When I configured Qmail I followed the Life With Qmail installation instructions to the word. What I forgot when telling qmail where to deliver the mail was I used ./Maildir instead of ./Maildir/, when I changed this mail started delivering with no problems. :) My bad Now I can receive mail with no problems, but when trying to send mail I get the error that the email address is not in my rcpthosts. I belive this has to do with the authentication module for Qmail. I see that /var/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp is writing IP addresses to the file to allow me to send mail through the server. But Qmail is not reading this file. My qmail-smtpd run script is as follows: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me` if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z "$LOCAL" ]; then echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run exit 1 fi exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 And I can say that my open-smtp file is not being erased by the cron job that I setup. I am not sure if this file is supposed to be cleared or not. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate them as I said I am so close that I can taste the mail server :) I would really not like to have to recompile the qmail program with a patch but I will if I have to if there is an easy script that will integrate with my current system.
