 |
|
I have followed the follwing guide to setup my mailsystem:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml
It is all working except that I can only send mail to anyone@mydomain.com but not anyone@anydomain.com....
What do I need to do to be able to send emails to anyone? |

What error do you get when trying to send mail to anyone@anydomain.com?

You need to add the problematic domain to sendmail.cw. Then restart sendmail.

Can I set it to allow me to email to any domain? Right now I can only send emails to my own domain (grand1982.com)...
Where is the file located that I need to edit? |

$locate sendmail.cw
Depends on your directory structure actually. Ive seen it in odd places like /opt/mnt/home/config, which is not where it'd be on your box.
You may be able to, but why would you want to? Even if the MTA is set to accept mail for any domain people from the internet wouldnt be able to deliver mail there b/c chances are the mx records for the wildcard domains point elsewhere.

But I want to be able to send emails to any emailadress from my own adress... Like I can with any other smtp server....
Well, it seems like my ISP will be closing port 25 so it really doesnt matter anymore since I will be force to use the ISP's smtp server |

I'm assuming you're using qmail and not sendmail. So ignore the other posts as you've got no sendmail. files. Chances are you're ip space isn't in your /etc/tcp.smtp Here is mine.
laxmail root # more /etc/tcp.smtp
10.20.9.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
then do
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
chmod 644 /etc/tcp.smtp*

Maybe I read that wrong. I thought that you were trying to rec. mails using your smtp for any domain.
