i have a question for = the qmail=20 people out there. this is my first time working with qmail, anyway = there=20 seemed to be a big push to use Maildir instead of mbox in the docs that = i have=20 read. so that is what i did, i conf. qmail to use Maildir and non-system = accounts. which is partly working, i can send, so smtp is working find, = and i=20 can connect pop3 to the server using both evolution and OE6. but qmail = doesnt=20 seem to be delivering the mail to the Maildir for the test account. also = relaying seems to be a problem, i followed these instructions but had no = success:

8a. Access = Control
Before we can=20 start up our qmail smtpd, we need to do some access control.
The = simplest way=20 to do this is by using files in /etc. I use /etc/tcp.smtp as = my
access=20 control file. If you don't need to do any access control, = /etc/tcp.smtp=20 can have just
one line:
:allow

Note that a default = configuration=20 does not allow for ANY relaying, even from localhost.
To allow = relaying from=20 localhost and your local network, you would have to use = something
like=20 this:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=3D""
192.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= =3D""
:allow

After you've created = your rules, you=20 need to activate them. tcpserver works by reading
a cdb = (database)=20 file. You use the tcprules program to build the database file from = your
/etc/tcp.smtp file. This is accomplished by the following=20 command:

# tcprules = /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb=20 /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp

it wasnt until i added = the host i was=20 sending, to the rcpthosts file in /var/qmail/control.

thx in advance for any=20 help.
