Thanks to Dave Sill, it was pointed out to me that a simple syntax error was my problem. In inetd.conf I had the line: smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd Dave pointed out that there should be a space after the second tcp-env. Days of pulling my hair out due to one simple thing. ugh. Problem solved. Thanks Dave! James
