Hi,

I'm running poprelayd to authenticate POP users to be allowed sendmail. I
am running into to difficulties and again I'm pretty sure I've installed
everything correctly but it keeps coming back giving me a 550 error relaying
denied.

$logfile = "/var/log/maillog"; # POP3 daemon log.
$pidfile = "/var/run/poprelayd.pid"; # Where we put our PID.
$dbfile = "/etc/mail/popip.db"; # Sendmail map to update.
$dbtype = "DB_HASH";
$timeout_minutes = 30; # Minutes an entry lasts.
$log_wait_interval = 5; # Number of seconds between checks
                                        # of the log file.

If I run it manually, poprelay -a [IP address] there is no problem sending
mail from that IP address. And it removes after the specified 30 minutes
from the database. So why then if the process is running will it not work
automatically.

Thanks for any help....
