contents of rcpthosts

Hi,
No matter what I put in rcpthosts, I still get the following error when
trying to send an e-mail from a local machine in my LAN.
Recipient error [553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed
rcpthosts (#5.7.1)]
Here is what I have in my control directory and the contents of them,
please note the character case:

Sounds like you are unable to relay.

Show us the output of the following two commands:

qmail-showctl
cat /etc/tcp.smtp

Then, tell us how you are attempting to send the email that you are
receiving an error for.

I have a samll LAN consist of a few machines, one of them (Solaris 9) is
a mail server running qmail. The system itself send and receives e-mail
just fine but if I try to use it as an internal relay, it gives that error.
For each client in the LAN, I set up the qmail server to be the outgoing
smtp server but of course qmail denies that.

Here is your problem. How are you running your SMTP service? If you
followed lifewithqmail.org (which you should have done if you installed
qmail), you would be using tcpserver with daemontools to run this SMTP
service. Please read lifewithqmail.org and follow it to the letter. Your
qmail installation Will Just Work(tm).

This looks fine.
