Bill wrote yesterday: You don't want to use the smtp.ipmap.tab, that will prevent smtp servers from connecting to xmail. You won't be able to receive mail even if it's for a local domain. Normally you want to have one line in smtp.ipmap.tab "0.0.0.0"[tab]"0.0.0.0"[tab]"ALLOW"[tab]1[newline] Then in the smtprelay.tab file you put the networks that are allowed to relay without authentication, if any.
