Re: Running qmail
I manually started qmail-smtp. However, even if it's running, it doesn't listen on any socket. I think I'm missing something, but what? Is there some other thing that should I do? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I usually reply to 50-100 messages every day and this does *not* include the work-related email traffic I get. It so happens, mostly because of my aversion to qmail, that I remember the original post, but you can't expect everyone to remember everything about the original post without any sort of context. How did you start qmail-smtpd? It's not supposed to work just by running the binary as root. The qmail documentation explains how you can start it with tcpserver, for example. I think I'm missing something, but what? Is there some other thing that should I do? Yes, you are indeed missing something. The best way to find out what you are missing is to read carefully the qmail installation guide or one of the dozens of online tutorials about setting up qmail, i.e.: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ Your question is answered in the qmail FAQ too: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq.html http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#tcpserver-smtpd I hope this helps, - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So you could start qmail-smtpd from the command line and start typing your SMTP session. The normal way to run qmail-smtd is by way of tcpserver. This program will listen on any socket and start any program on connect and redirect the connection to the server's stdin, although inetd should work also.

Re: Running qmail
Hi, it seems that I have a issue with qmail itself. Now I'm trying running it without daemontools (I can configure them later, and, as Svein Halvor said, qmail should run as well without). Now, /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail links correctly to /var/qmail/rc, which is a copy of /var/qmail/boot/maildir. At boot, the script is executed, and ps -A|grep qmail returns me this: 485 con- I 0:00.04 qmail-send 501 con- I 0:00.01 splogger qmail 502 con- I 0:00.01 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/ 503 con- I 0:00.01 qmail-rspawn 504 con- I 0:00.01 qmail-clean 606 p0 S+ 0:00.01 grep qmail However, no service is listening on port 25, as sockstat -4l tells me. I've tryed using the others /var/qmail/boot scripts, but it's the same. Talking about logs, the messages log shows me nothing related, while maiilog prints this line when I start the script: 1134993056.844518 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 trying to telnetl localhost on port 25 refuses the connection. I think is a qmail related problem (and not, say, firewall related), since I have other services running whithout problems, like Samba and OpenSSH. Any idea?

Also /var/log/maillog maybe be useful along with /var/log/messages. Daemontools can be found out by: cd /usr/ports make search name=daemontools if you have installed ports tree. When I tried, I didn't have installation problem. It was very smooth through ports. It took time for me to configure it. Regards, Shantanoo -- pgpWm6LXwamOb.pgp Description: PGP signature

I need some help You shouldn't need daemontools and the svscan utility (though it is useful for a number of reasons). The qmail port should have installed a symlink in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh pointing to /var/qmail/rc. This link is broken by default, but by moving or copying a file from the /var/qmail/boot directory to this location, the link should resolve and the script executed at startup. The scripts are non-rcng so you shouldn't need anything in /etc/rc.conf to make things work. You may need to edit the startup script /var/qmail/rc though. I would, however, recomend that you install daemontools also. This would require a little more initial work on your part, but is far easier to maintain, and makes sure that qmail keep running.
