Hi all Qmail-/Linux-/Email-/diald-Gods, i have a strange problem. I think it isnt concerned right to qmail (sorry for a little bit offtopic) but to my email sending/receiving. I hope someone of you can maybe enlighten me. The story: ---------- I�ve set up a mailserver under S.u.S.E. Linux 6.0 and use Qmail 1.03 as my MTA. As i use a dialup ppp-connection to my ISP i wish my linux-commserver as a relay for my outgoing email (to all of the world) as well as a local-delivery-system for inhouse communication. As workstations we use Win95/98 computers and outlook as MUA. To bring up the dialup-connection (not even for email but also for WWW a.s.o) i use diald and its rules. This works fine. i installed and setup qmail and my outlook. Local mails go through the linux server to home-maildirs of local users and outgoing mails were collected via a catchall-alias in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains in a single maildir where cron shoots them out regularly using sendmail. Incoming mails were fetched via fetchmail and delivered locally. So far so good...all components do their jobs very well and fast. BUT... Problem: -------- Just in the moment i start diald (the dialer-daemon) the server didnt accept my mails from my win95-client with outlook further. The new mail waits in the outbound-folder for delivering in my outlook. No error-window appears. Waiting for hours and hours. Nothing happens. The /var/log/mail file shows nothing about the new mail (it does so when diald is not running and the mail delivery works). If i kill the diald-process and it didnt appear any longer in process list the waiting mail in my outlook vanishes from my outbound-folder and appears on the linux server in the correct place (i.E. in a local-user-homedir or in the collect-the-relaymail-maildir) - all works fine again. I changed NOTHING in the configurations. Neither in qmail/linux side nor at the Win/outlook side. The only thing i do is to start diald (no mail function further) and kill diald (back to normal function) via a telnet session, nothing else. Im helpless. I cant imagine what there can be interfere each other. On another machine (my test computer) i set up the same configuration for testing and there it works fine with or without diald running. So there must be a way to solve this problem and it seems only a configuration problem (in diald???) on the other machine. But i cant figure it out. Compared all related files on both machines for hours...i cant see any difference. Anyone can give me a clue what to look for or check out? Any hint appreciated...really! If you need more Informations (like excerpts from my diald.conf-file or so) please dont hesitate to contact me for it. Ill do (almost) anything to get help and solve this riddle. I will be so thankful for your soon replies here in the list or via email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thx. in advance and sorry for offtopic again. I hope i bothered you not too much.
