Hi Guys,

When I try to send a mail to my Linux box I get the below message.

"553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)"

I'm sending from a Winnt running Outlook98 through M$exchange.
Is the above message coming from my Linux Box or my exchange server?

I've read up some doc's on the net and they all refer to Qmail, qmail-smtpd

Qmail is not installed on my Linux box.(COL2.3)

"There is a file in qmail's "control" directory named "rcpthosts".
E-mail messages that are sent to domains which appear in the rcpthosts
file are accepted, messages sent to domains that don't appear in
rcpthosts are refused."

Is there a simple solution to this problem?
