Are you sure you understand what's going on here?
If rcpthosts exists, you will get a 533 error for every smtp connection
where the domain of the RCPT address does not exactly match a line in
rcpthosts. tcpserver uses the -x option with a cdb databse of rules that
can set the RELAYCLIENT environment variable if the smtp connection is from
a specific host or network.
You must get this exactly right or you'll get the 533 error. It's not
complicated or hard, just exact.
You keep repeating the same information and you keep getting the same replys.
The majority of the posters on this list are skilled sysadmins and
programmers and they do not have patience with people who seem to ignore
their responses. The problem you are having is a COMMON one. The answer is
ALWAYS the same thing. You've got to get it exactly right or it won't work.
you definitely need to re-read man qmail-send and man qmail-smtpd and man
tcpserver
