well I thoght I had my qmail working, but I have a little problem. I was
sending some test messages to some accounts on the server and they never got
there. I never got a undeliverable mail message so I was wondering where they
went. I did /usr/local/sbin/qmail queue and saw them in the queue. I am not
sure what I am doing wrong here and it is driving me bonkers, I have been
trying to set this server up for 3 days!!! Now when I do a
/usr/local/sbin/qmail doqueue I get the following mesasage:
sending ALRM to qmail-send.
tcpserver: fatal anable to bind: address already in use.
I just dont know what to do. If I use lsof I see that tcpserver is using posts
25 and 110 so why do I get that error?? What I am trtying to do is use qmail
as an smtp server and a pop server using vpopmail. I set it up according to
life with qmail. Can anyone (PLEASE) loom at my config files below and offer
helpful comments. My boss is breathing down my neck and I really want to prove
to him that Linux is a good thing to have in our office. Thanks a million in
advance.

This is my /var/qmail/rc

# Using stdout for logging
# Using control/defaultdelivery from qmail-local to deliver messages by default
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \

I also have run files for supervise according to LWQ
any ideas and comments are welcome. Sorry for the huge e-mail!!!!!
