Problem with NetBSD-4 system was down to same fault. So, are we cool? Not yet, I think I'm now infrequently using so many features I need to put in place a test suite I can run each time any change is made. Other than that I'm really pleased :-) Cheers David - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm still working on it but it appears to be NetBSD-4 and/or ipv6 related. Any help would still be appreciated. Sockstat showed xmail to be listening on tcp6 on all three systems. NetBSD-3.1 mail.lordynet.org is ipv6 enabled and both ipv4 and ipv6 working. NetBSD-3.1 with test server used same commandline with -M7 -B6 -P6 -S6 -X6 and also. With those parameters removed I now see sockstat only shows xmail listening on tcp rather than tcp6 and this system now accepts external connections. NetBSD-4.0 on intended new server had same commandline but after restart with above parameters removed I still get sockstat showing tcp6 and connection refused except from localhost. With two previously unconfigured interfaces set to dummy ip4 addresses, sockstat now shows tcp rather than tcp6 and I can make remote connections. So although systems are now working I suspect there is some problem there with xmail and or NetBSD. Also with default postfix there wasn't a problem. I disabled xmail and undid the changes to interfaces and sockstat then showed postscript listening on tcp (not tcp6) whilst external connections are ok. cheers David - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've just been setting up a new server running NetBSD-4 and copied my existing 1.25-pre25 NetBSD 3.1 directory and binaries. 'telnet localhost 25' Allows me to connect and accepts a test email. All attempts at using the interface hostname or ip address get a connection refused. I've since done a fresh install of 1.25 which dumps core on attemp to start using supplied script /etc/rc.d/xmail and if started with my own I've looked through startup scripts and main difference is single extra line in script with 1.25: ulimit -s 128 If I add that line to my own script I also get a segfault/coredump. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
