 Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2003 5:49 pm Post subject: trouble sending mail using smtp via kmail |
 |
|
I get the following message:
The server responded: "sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed
rcpthosts (#5.7.1) "
I'm confused 'cause the way it's set up now used to work before I converted to Gentoo (from RedHat 9). Is there some permissions to set somewhere that RH makes you blisfully unaware of?
Thanx for any help in advance

| Do your smtp logs show anything? What are you using for your MTA? Sendmail, qmail, Postfix? |

Sorry, man. I still be a bit of a n00b. MTA? Have ssmtp emerged on my system, but using a dailup via a WindowsXP gateway (dad's pc) and all I did under RH9 was setup kmail. So, in short, if you want any info from me, you'll have to tell me what to type.
thanx a lot for responding, however, I much appreciate it greatly.

Mail Transport Agent. The program that transports mail across the Internet. ssmtp is one such program.
When you say "setup kmail", can you elaborate? Like what settings did you enter for your POP3/IMAP server and SMTP server? What email address did you specify? |

Sorry for long response time - projects...
Kmail config - smtp
host : smtp.co.za (this is cool)
port : 25
domain : spectralthane (this is my pc - can this be equal
to localhost (127.0.0.1))
No authentication
Email and reply-to address are the same and is correct.
Only thing I'm wondering is about the domain thing. Should I change that in /etc/hosts?
thanx

i deleted my default identity because it kept using that one instead of the new identity even though I made the new one default.

Fixed it ... stupid actually.  Put "domain" equal to "mypc" in kmail and "mypc" equal to external IP#(192.168.0.5), not localhost (127.0.0.1), in resolve.conf. Now it works.
