Hi all. This is my first attempt at a qmail toaster install. I've used qmailrocks.org successfully.
This error is showing up in /var/log/mail/submit/current:
Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open relay
No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!
(There are two long numbers before these lines, and these lines repeat seemingly infinitely.)
Here is my /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts:
culby2.com
Here is a line from /var/log/smtp/current:
CHKUSER rejected relaying: from <#@[]::> remote <mail.culby2.com:unknown:192.168.11.1> rcpt <postmaster@mail.culby2.com> : client not allowed to relay
My domain is culby2.com, and I seem to have the MX records setup alright. I'm running this on a fresh (jailed) FreeBSD 6.1. Any ideas?
Yes, you do have MX records created, but they aren't valid.

culby2.com. does not resolve to anything, and thus is an invalid MX. This will cause your problems.
Those two lines would have repeated for a long time, until you got around to adding a domain to the system. I presume you created the domain using something like ~vpopmail/bin/vadddomain culby2.com, right?
Clients should not be allowed to relay by default. That is something you must specifically enable for your IP space.
