Topic: I need "local network" email help

[David Gomes]

I have 2 offices, 1 esmith server.  I want the two offices (each has its own IP) to be able to use the esmith box for a mail server.  

In e-smith-manager: I have set POP and IMAP server access: to Public.  I have also added the (out of state) office's IP to the local networks screen.  
Is this all I need to do?  The manual is not very clear, and it's NOT working.  

This is what the rejected email contains:

"The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. ............I don't allow unauthorized relaying. Please use another SMTP host to mail from ..........."

The out of state office should use the SMTP host provided by their ISP for outbound e-mail.  Alternately you could simply use webmail.

thanks.  
But, isn't that the point of including the "local Networks" option.  To include/treat another IP into your local network? Or is this for something else?  I ask because I had this setup working on my previous esmith 4.0.  and they (the other office) was able to relay on my box.

run "/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save" and see if this fixes things.

I think that did the trick.  What does that do?
