the file rcpthosts is empty

[patrysib]

I have a server whit fedora 6 and is instaled qmail. when I try to send an e-mail, I obtain an error message like: Requested action not taken: mailbox name not allowed
Server replied: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
I looked into the file file rcpthosts.conf and I saw that it is empty. what I have to write in it ?

I have never installed qmail on a redhat server (debian here), and I have never heard of a rcpthosts.conf file.

On all the installs I have done, the file is usually /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts

rcpthosts file is to define hosts that are allowed to relay on your server, not recipients' domains.

Basically, who is allowed to send mail through your SMTP service.
Once you have registered your local domain and some other you should be done.
