Notice that the error message doesn't say anything about rcpthosts or SMTP. rcpthosts and morercpthosts are relevant only to qmail-smtpd (and qmail-qmtpd), which has already accepted the message and put it into the queue for qmail-send to deliver: see the diagram in http://www.nrg4u.com/qmail/the-big-qmail-picture-103-p1.gif qmail-send can't work out how to deliver the message: * the domain's not in control/locals or control/virtualdomains, so it's not meant to be delivered to a user on the system ("it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local"); * therefore it must be intended for some other server... but the DNS records (MX or A) point back to this server! ("I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host") vadddomain normally adds the necessary entries in files automatically; did you use it? If so, what commands did you give, *exactly*, and did you change any of the files by hand? If so, which and how? -- Daniel Biddle
