HELP: qmail-smtp isn't started by default????
hello! i never really used the incoming mail feature of my qmail setup of my home server... since i normally get my mail through our corporate mail service, but now i needed it, and it didn't worked i have a sid-machine running qmail... looked through the setups couldn't find anything... tryed a telnet 25, connection refused... looked through hosts.allow, added some lines for qmail, until i noticed that it is started as daemon... looked through the started daemons noticed that qmail-smtp was missing... looked at the start script, didn't understood a lot... got through the qmail install docu and adapted the line there to start the server: tcpserver -u 71 -g 65534 0 smtp /usr/sbin/qmail-smtpd this is similar to what i found in the init script: sh -c start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \ --exec /usr/bin/tcpserver -- \ -S -u 71 -g 65534 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 smtp \ /usr/sbin/qmail-smtpd 21 | logger -t qmail -p mail.notice but only similar can't imagine what the extra struff as /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb is supposed to do and why that command is so complicated anyways the above mentioned line works, while the init line manifestingly doesn't work should i post this as a bug, or is something with my set up wrong? -- ciao bboett == [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett === the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing

It is a database (sort of - a ``constant database''), used instead of /etc/hosts.*. Read the qmail FAQ (http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq.html) or Life With qmail (http://www.lifewithqmail.org/).
