Hello,
I recently install qmail on a BSDI 4.01 server, and I'm having a really
bad time trying to get it running. I read the HOWTO located here
http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html#10 I did everything as
explained, but I'm getting this error in /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd:
xxxxxx.xxxxxxx tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used
I dug through the archives and found someone having the same problem,
but there were no real answers as to why it was happening. I commented
out anything referring to SMTP,POP,POP3,port 25 or 110 in inetd.conf. I
also ran netstat to see if there was anything using the ports, and there
doesn't appear to be. I even went as far as to comment out the
reference to SMTP in /etc/services thinking it may somehow reserve that
port for sendmail. I knew this couldn't be the case, but I'm getting
desperate at this point. Has anyone ever had this problem and actually
corrected it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Please let me
know if I'm missing something.
Thank you,
Robert
