Ok I did find that the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run had the typo, smtpd was changed to smtp... k now I get the following error in Outlook Express:
The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Subject 'This is another test', Account: 'hamletbuildings.com', Server: 'hamletbuildings.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 If I'm not mistaken, vpopmail's supposed to handle this somehow? I tried sending the e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is the virtual domain on the machine I'm playing with. The above mentioned qmail-smtpd/run script points to /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb, does anyone know where vpopmail creates this cdb file it's touted to make? I also find it kind of weird that qmail is rejecting a destination domain.

Did u create the tcp.smtpd.cdb file using tcprules...fist check whther that file exists in the specified paths Possible problems include a typo ..maybe it should read tcp.smtp.cdb in the smtpd run script if u followed the docs u pointed to the dot. and i hope someone else can deal with ur second problem..
