i recently installed and set up qmail on my mandrake 6.1 linux box. i was
going through the TEST files and ran into some problems. i can send mail out
and within the box, but any mail sent to the box seems to disappear. there
are no bounce notices sent when i send a message with an unknown user, nor
does a user on the box receive any messages sent to him from the outside. in
my qmail-smtpd file i have:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
i assume this means that this allows the localhost to relay and allows
everyone else to send mail to the box. my qmail-pop3d file is a duplicate. i
browsed to my /var/qmail/users dir and there is nothing there. is that the
problem and if so what type of file goes there and how do i generate it.
this is really driving me nuts. also the log files in /var/log/qmail don't
seem to tell me anything.
thanks,
James
