Qmail Configuration

Hosted Cloud

Qmail - TCPServer

If you're running Qmail using tcpserver to spawn the qmail-smtp process, you can add a rule to your /etc/tcp.smtp file telling it to accept connections based on the reverse DNS of the connecting host:

=delivery.antispamcloud.com:allow,RELAYCLIENT=''

Qmail - Inetd

If you're running Qmail as an inetd service by using tcp-env then all SMTP access configuration is done from the following files: /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. Don't forget to add your own SMTP clients to /etc/hosts.allow

1. Add the following line to /etc/hosts.allow

   tcp-env: .antispamcloud.com: setenv = RELAYCLIENT

2. Add the following line to /etc/hosts.deny . This will deny access from all hosts except those in /etc/hosts.allow for the inetd service qmail

   tcp-env: ALL

Local Cloud
