1 Here's my tcp.smtp:
2
3 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
4 :allow
5
6 Not running qmail-scanner and I don't know anything about a LAN... this
7 is a rented rackmount server, don't think it's on a LAN.

9 Java Servlets are server-side java code, so no this isn't running on a
10 client. The program is a simple e-commerce site and I'm trying to have
11 the java send an email when a sale is made. I've got it working sending
12 the mail to a email address hosted by the server, but can't send it to
13 another server, cuz that's considered a relay.

15 This tcp.smtp thing should be working... pretty stumped as to why it's not.
