Hi Clayton, Yeah, compiling from "fresh" source was one of the trouble shooting ideas I tried early on. Here's another observation.
The mysql "relay" table does get updated with each new remote log in. But... it seems to be updating the table AFTER the new log in exits. I discovered this when suddenly all of the messages that had previously been refused by smtp - got sent immediately upon log in. That was because the remote log in was, by chance, issued the same IP as the previous log in. So... the IP was in the relay table from the previous login and the mail sent without a problem. Oddly, the IPs listed in my mysql relay table, which match the IP's in the smtp log files - do not match the IP's in the /tcp.smtp.cdb file. Not even the one IP that worked in the example above. Seems like something is fubar. Any other suggestions?
