[e-smith-devinfo] tcpserver and mailfront on Alpha

[Robert van den Aker]

While we're on the subject of tcpserver and mailfront, I'd like to add that I've had limited success with them on the Alpha. tcpserver/mailfront/qmail would relay mail from the localhost only (tested with pine and imp). Mailfront would also give a greeting when I ran mconnect from the localhost.
However, tcpserver/mailfront/qmail would not relay mail from hosts on the network. I could not connect to the smtp service when running mconnect from a host on the internal network. I _was_ able however to connect to port 25 with tcpclient and the connection was idented. I would appreciate any pointers on what I could do to diagnose the problem.
In the end I reverted to obtuse-smtpd, because I felt this was the only thing standing in the way of Unofficial SME 5.5 for Alpha, which leads me to my next post...
