[cobalt-users] Broken Mail Relay

[M Smart <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In short: Does anyone know a fix for restoring a broken relay?  Our RaQ4
stopped relaying mail about 4 months ago after an .pkg install.  Can't say
which .pkg it was, we generally download them monthly and there was a
number of them installed the day our relaying stopped.


History if you want it: 

About 4 months back we installed a number of package updates from the
Cobalt update download page:

Subsequently our server would error out a specific task when creating new
virtual hosts, that was building the relay file. We figured, screw it we'll
just add them through FTP and telnet as needed to the .access file.  Each
and every time we added a new vhost we would have to manually update the
.access file.  It didn't take long to learn this was not working either. 

We resorted to telling customers to use their ISP's mail server to relay
outbound mail. We don't want to continue doing that. We want to relay our
customers mail.

We have a second server now that we are considering setting up a mail
server and relaying mail, but before we do we want to give it one last
chance at fixing this mail issue.  I'm a man of principal and know that I
can't call Cobalt/Sun without paying in advance for a problem we did not
create.  Outside of this our RaQ4 has run like a top.

Peace and love Incorporated,
