I enabled 'POP Authenticated Relaying' and assume this is the same as
POP before SMTP that we ran on our old RaQ 4's, but it does not seem to
work. The first time I chose save in the GUI, I did get an error message
in the footer claiming it could not write to the sendmail.cf file, but
the setting did save. I also re-saved it again and did not receive the
error any more. I receive relaying denied when trying to send mail after
successfully checking mail. I am using the admin@myhostname as the
e-mail account I'm testing with. The 'poprelayd -p' shows my originating
IP and I can successfully telnet to port 25 on localhost and send the
same message no problem. Is there something I'm missing?
