(I get "550 5.7.1 ... Relaying denied"). So I went an looked at /etc/mail and there is a access.sample but not a plain access file so I copied and edited access.sample to include a line ... 192.168.10.4 OK ... and rebooted but still I get the same error. On the system console I get a more verbose form of the same message but also "lost input channel from SS11232 [192.168.10.4] to MTA after rcpt" which doesn't sound too good to me. Am I using the access file correctly here ? Am I right in thinking that I MUST use the access file or could I just ignore it ? Should I have renamed access.sample to access ? Thanks again for your help so far and any other help would be welcome. regards richard. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
