Hi all.

I currently  have qmail-smtpd running under tcpserver using the 'allow
authorised RELAY hosts /etc/tcp.smtp' mechanism. for dialup ISP email. Im
not sure of a few things.

1. If someone tries to relay an email from an IP address (ISP dialup) which
is not listed in /etc/tcp.smtp, and who's domainname happens to be listed in
rcpthosts, desined for a recipient 'somewhere' on the internet,  am I right
in thinking that this connection/request to relay will be blocked by
tcpserver? How do I allow this to happen, if I dont know the IP address of
the user wishing to relay?? This in essence is the same as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], isnt it??

2. What is the significance of using qmail-qmqpd over the above method.
Which is better.??

Thanks.

Dan.
