550 relaying to <user@host.com> prohibited by administrator

Hi there,

I decided to get a new web server up and running, debian sarge 3.1 based. I decided to go with qmail for the mailserver and followed qmailrocks.org instructions...everything went fine and i was able to send and receive e-mails fine until today.

I keep receiving the following error everytime i try sending an e-mail to a remote adress:

550 relaying to <user@host.com> prohibited by administrator

I checked the rcphosts along with the virtual domains & everything seems fine...the smtp authetication is also enabled...

any ideas and help would be greately appreciated

figured it out...anyone that has the same prob you propably have another smtp server running

in my case i had not completely removed exim and for those people that need to remove exim without haivng all its dependencies uninstalled use this

dpkg --force-depends --purge exim4
