Hello. I am trying to install qmail on my redhat 6.0 system. I uninstalled
sendmail, and because of conflicts (i'm never brave enough to do --nodeps) I
had to uninstall mh, exmh and also fetchmail I believe. I started qmail in
/etc/inted.conf, made sure that /etc/services had the proper ports open.
netstat -an | grep 25 told me that something was listening to port 25
(hurrah!) and a ps -A showed that qmail was running.
However, whenever I telnet to my port 25 I get booted. It does "pick up"
and tells you that the escape character is ^[ and whatnot, but it
disconnects me real quickly. my hosts.allow and hosts.deny specify that the
localhost should be able to get through on port 25.
What else do I need to do, or what did I do wrong and how can I get things
to work properly.
Thanks,
matt
