Re: [vchkpw] Outlook unable to relay, Kmail can...

David - I would recommend putting recordio into the qmail startup and seeing how the Windows clients are trying to auth, and then compare with the linux clients. This might help pin down your auth problems. If not, I think I've got some patches around that greatly increase the logging verbosity of qmail-smtpd when auth'ing because I had some similar problems that I had a devil of a time tracking down.

I will be reviewing the site you recommended to see if I can find a clue as to what this could be... More info: It is not just Outlook that I'm having problems with, it's anything Windows... I have tried Outlook, Outlook Express, and Eudora - all were able to receive mail but unable to send it. Recap: I have a qmail box that I am only serving virtual mailboxes from using qmail+vpopmail. My Linux-based users report no problems, all is fine. My Windows-based users can check their mail but cannot send it. The log reports nothing wrong. The error reported by Outlook is the standard one about the domain not being listed in rcpthosts... This has really got me baffled because the behavior is not consistent. I can't understand how it could work for Linux clients but not Windows... The OS shouldn't really be a factor... On Tuesday 30 September 2003 01:51, you wrote: Dave, I think I had the same problem. What is the error you are getting back? What is the log showing? I ended up replacing my /service/qmail-smtpd/run file with the script below and now relaying works. Just a thought, hope it helps.
