I have installed qmail and can successfully send mail both locally and to
remote addresses. However, I am unable to receive messages from a remote
address. I do not use Fetchmail since my linux server is permanently
connected. When I do the first test in TEST.receive (forge some mail locally
via SMTP) I get the following:
#telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
I have enabled smtp in /etc/inetd.conf and the command "netstat -a |grep
LISTEN" shows smtp as listening for requests.
When I send a message from a remote machine it is not received and nothing
appears in the log file. Is there something I'm missing or is there some
extra configuration I have to do in order to get smtp to work with qmail.
Any help will be gratefully received.
Paul
