Hi all

Please help a mailserver new boy. :)

I have the following set in my config:

hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : x.x.x.160/29

with the subnet belonging to me. I am led to believe that this is the
best way to limit access to my server but I have hit this problem.

When I start my server, I can access the mail and even send mail over
command line from ANY host. Mail is accepted and delivered fine.

Is there another setting I need to configure along with the
relay_from_hosts? Is this in any way related to the acl_check_rcpt
settings too?

Thanks in advance

Mark
