One possibility is that the smtp entry in /etc/inetd.conf is not enabled (ISTR, that a certain version of the smail package didn't properly enable this in its postinst script). Running (as root): `update-inetd --enable smtp' (no quotes) should fix that (or else it'll punt safely). Also, if one wants smail to run standalone, one can edit /etc/init.d/smail and comment out the exit 0 line near the top (IIRC, this may be necessary for it to work at all with fetchmail. It will certainly make fetchmail perform a bit better even if not required.). -- Joel Espy KleckerDebian GNU/Linux Developermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://espy.org/ ftp://ftp.espy.org/pub God shows his contempt for wealth by the kind of person He selects to receive it. -- Austin O'Malley (1858-1952) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Connection is refused. Any ideas? Comment out any rule in /etc/hosts.deny and try again. If this works, then reenable one rule at a time to find the problem. This won't fix the problem, as a connection refused error won't be given if something is being blocked by tcp wrappers - the connection will still be accepted, but then dropped. Two ideas: - Your inetd may not be running; check if you can telnet to localhost on any port (try especially 7, 9, 13 and 23). If you always get connection refused, there may be a problem with /etc/init.d/netbase - at the top of /etc/init.d/netbase it checks for the existence of a certain file (/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap); make certain you have that file. If you don't, but do have /usr/sbin/portmap, then change the top of /etc/init.d/netbase to check for the file you do have. - Your inetd may be running but may not be set up to hand things off to smail. Check if there's a line in /etc/inetd.conf that says: smtp stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.smtpd and make certain it's not commented out - as I recall, the bo smail package updated /etc/inetd.conf in a not-recommended manner, and that may have broken during package install. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Fetchmail Smail Problems
Hi, I`m getting this error: $fetchmail -k -v [snip] fetchmail: POP3 RETR 1 fetchmail: POP3 +OK 7064 octets reading message 1 (7064 bytes) fetchmail: SMTP connect to (null) failed fetchmail: POP3 QUIT fetchmail: POP3 ListProcessor 6.0 fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from service.raksnet.com.tr fetchmail: normal termination, status 9 And I can`t telnet to localhost. My /etc/hosts.deny has the `ALL: ALL` line, /etc/hosts.allow has `ALL: 127.0.0.1`. I`m also having trouble with smail, configured as internet site uses smarthost for all outgoing mail. In logs there is no error, but I the mails sent are lost. Local delivery works. Any help will greatly appreciated.

Smail is severly broken at the moment in hamm.Your configuration looks ok. You can try to give fetchmail the dma option and use procmail. I wonder why outbond mail does not work for you, it works for me with the same configuration (and the new smail, yes, I'm brave). If you send me your /etc/smail directory and your .fetchmailrc, I can give a look (be sure to blend all passwords and usernames out). This could help the development of smail in hamm.
