I am sorry to keep bringing this up, but I have tried everything and am not sure where to turn next! The issue: one particular domain *appears* to be using me as a relay. The messages sit in my mailq and my log grows and grows. I have only a few actual users right now and I want to get this addressed before I get too many.

Try posting entries from syslog which show when these messages are delivered to you. The session will have something like " courieresmtpd: started,ip=" and continue from there...

Here are the last 40 lines of my syslog:

My smtpaccess file ONLY has allow,RELAYCLIENT for localhost and the IP I registered for my domain. My locals file only has localhost and my domain and my esmtpacceptmailfor also is localhost and my domain as is hosteddomains. My installation is nothing special nor have I made any drastic changes to anything.

You have just the one file in smtpaccess/ right? And in it the IP addresses and actions are separated by *a single tab character* right? You should not have "the IP I registered for my domain" in it - that IP does not *relay* to you - it is you! jerry

Yes I have one smtpaccess file called "default". I shall post what I have for you to see as well:

Default access policies for courieresmtpd

localhost allow,RELAYCLIENT ## By default, enable relaying for localhost.

24.17.224.197 allow,RELAYCLIENT

# Also, enable relaying for 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16

10 allow,RELAYCLIENT 192.168 allow,RELAYCLIENT

# Use the following entry to deny connections from bad IP addresses # # 192.168.5 deny # Another way to block mail from IP addresses is by initializing the # BLOCK variable to a non-empty value. This is enforced in submit. # # 192.168.5 allow,BLOCK="550 Shoo! Go away!"

# If 192.168.2.3 is listed in a blocklist that initializes the BLOCK # environment variable, and you wish to whitelist the IP address, just # set BLOCK to an empty value, like this: # # 192.168.2.3 allow,BLOCK

And yes the 24.17.224.197 allow line is my registered IP address. I will remove it if I don't need it. :)

Thanks
