'allo,
I got rid of the relay_to_domains setting and it is empty now as it was.
But now I keep getting the following error:
2004-08-25 03:49:27 H=sccrmhc11.comcast.net [204.127.202.55] F=<mnsanghvi@???> rejected RCPT <mns-usenet@???>: relay not permitted
"relay not permitted" seems to be like something coming out of the ACL section
and sure enough there is an ACL in there which uses relay_to_domains to
decide if it wants to accept the email or not.
accept domains = +relay_to_domains
endpass
verify = recipient
So I changed the "relay_to_domains" to "virtual_domains" but all that did
was prevent any email coming in. I saw nothing in the log files. 'tail -f' just
stayed empty. I switched back to having "relay_to_domains" and
now email is flowing again, though it is being rejected due to passing
through all the ACLs until it reaches the last ACL. Here are the ACLs
that came as default settings under Cygwin:
begin acl
acl_check_rcpt:
accept hosts = :
deny message = Restricted characters in address
domains = +local_domains
local_parts = ^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|]
deny message = Restricted characters in address
domains = !+local_domains
local_parts = ^[./|] : ^.*[@%!] : ^.*/\\.\\./
accept local_parts = postmaster
domains = +local_domains
require verify = sender
accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
verify = recipient
accept domains = +relay_to_domains
endpass
verify = recipient
accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts
accept authenticated = *
deny message = relay not permitted
Everything else seems to be defaulted, so I can't think of anything else that
could be causing the "relay not permitted" to show up.
I am assuming that I probably need some ACL added to the default set, but
am not sure what it should be.
cheers,
