Dear list,

Why can't I send outgoing email to enming@a2000.net without specifying
the domain name a2000.net in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts?

If I want to send outgoing email to enming@a2000.net, I need to specify
a2000.net in rcpthosts.

Is there any way I can send outgoing email to enming@a2000.net without
specifying a2000.net in rcpthosts?

Thank you very much.

Because you appear to have not set up *selective* relaying.
