I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to get qmail to work,
I have a
number of problems - not least of which is how do you get help from
a mailing
list, with no E-mail facility. I solved that with this web-mail
thing, I always
wondered what is was good for :-).
I am running RH6.0, on 2.2.5 - we have a small network with 6
computers at
present 4 running Windows and using OE as the client. The last
two including
the server run RH6.0.
I have set-up Qmail as per the howto, and have added vchkpw to
authenticate
users. Two major problems present themselves, the first is the
dirty R word, yes
relaying - the stock reply to this seems to be RTFM, so as not to
be tarred with
that brush I have done so a number of times, and followed the
directions
regarding tcp.smtp and tcprules with great care a number of times.
Every time
I get told to take my mail away - this doesn't impress my users.
I have checked
the tcp.smtp file in a number of editors and no spurious control
codes are
present.
Just to be thorough, I heve checked what is running with top at
startup, I have
qmail-rspawn, qmail-lspawn, qmail-clean and accustamp running under
qmail-send,
which in turn runs under supervise. I have two instances of
tcpserver running
under two instances of supervise. Does this sound normal?
When I create a mail with qmail-inject, I can't log on to
qmail-pop3d to retrieve
it from the network, I get a 'no socket' error.
The setup is for no local users at all, all are virtual domains
and users.
except for postmaster ( thats me, but I am not very busy at the
moment ). I have
run out of ideas ( the building isn't high enough to make dropping
the PC out of
the window awefully satisfying :-) ) - anyone else got any ideas?
