Go to http://www.qmail.org to find out lots of qmail documentation
including a link that will point you to the mailing list. I recommend
"Life with qmail" by Dave Sill.
As far as your problems sending mail, qmail doesn’t relay by default
(which is a good thing).
If you’re running the tcpserver module to invoke qmail’s SMTP daemon
(as opposed to inetd) then you can specify allowable relays in the
/etc/tcp.smtp file.
This
10.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
10.9.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
allows relaying by the local host (bottom line) and everyone in the
10.1.* and 10.9.* IP address domains. It’s been awhile since I set it
up, but if I remember right, if the file exists, and you don’t have the
bottom line, then it won’t send anything from the local machine (which
might be a good thing, if you don’t intend people to log on locally to
do their emailing).
After you set up the file, you do have to create a cdb data base file,
which you do with the following:
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
and again, if you don't have tcpserver installed, I don't think you'll
have the tcprules command.
Good luck.
