[Mailman-Users] Mailman on QMail with Closed Relay

[Phil Grimpo]

I've been checking the qmail logs and it looks like it doesn't even try
to send messages off the server, I just see sending to local.  Any idea
what other logs I could check?

Actually, I was going by the documentation in "Life with qmail" by Dave
Sill.  His way to configures tcpserver a little different.  I hadn't
realized there was a more generic file structure for tcpserver in use.  
To ensure that tcpserver is accessing the right database file, do a 
   ps -auxw | egrep tcpserver
and see what the -x switch is set to.  If it's
   tcserver -x /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtp.cdb
and that's the name of your database file, then you're doing the right
thing.  I would also do a 
   man tcprules
to make sure the formatting and syntax of your tcprules file is correct.

Lastly (or firstly), check the qmail logs and see if there's any errors
in sending out messages.
