Go, get cdbtools from DJBs web site ( http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html ) and make a cdbdump < /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb If it cotains more addresses than /etc/tcp.smtp everything should be fine. You seem to have vpopmail set up (configured) to use /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb instead of ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp which is OK. No problem with this, in fact it doesn't _really_ matter which one is used, as long as vpopmail and qmail-smtpd use _the same_. > I may have to go another route as I am not sure about the relaying as > the IP addresses are not being cleared from the tcp.smtp.db file or > the open-smtp file. I would like to just use SMTP authentication > instead of POP before SMTP. You'll have to patch qmail for being able to use SMTP-Auth. If you want to use SMTP_AUTH _exclusively_ you'll have to recompile vpopmail with disabled "romaing-users" option. Else vpopmail _will_ continue to write IP-Adresses of authenticated POP3-users to open-smtp and .cdb file. To come back to your original problem: have a look with above mentioned cdbdump command if /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb contains the IP-address you're trying to send mail from. If not: do a POP3-check and "dump" the file again ... your IP _should_ be present now ... !!!IF!!! this file can be written by the user your POP3-process is started as!!!! HTH P.S.: Could you _please_ disable your 'Reply-To' header (by deleting it's value in your account setup)??? It's redundant (it contains the very same address already in 'From' which makes absolutely no sense) and prevents from "easy answering" by simply using "Reply". My MUA would be able to reply to the list automatically (as it recognizes the list headers), but your "Reply-To" header takes (intentionally by my MUA) precedence ... Thanks in advance -- Peter
