What you can try to do is telnet from the box that is running qmail but
telnet to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) on port 25 and see what happens. I had
this problem with mine, I could telnet locally via local host but could
not from a pop client.
Re-name (temporarly) any permit and deny rules, run qmail smtp under
inetd (to rule out tcpservers own permit and deny policies) and also
check your qmail directory where your rcpthosts and other related files
are (normally control). Make sure the names of the boxes you want to
talk to server is there. Also check the services file to make sure it
is correct.
I was using outlook to test qmail back when I was setting it up because
I didn't want to add an account to my netscape. I know I wasn't running
ssl so I couldn't figure out the error so I finally setup netscape
(added another user in addition to mine) and it told me the server
wasn't responding. Another thing that could be happening is make sure
sendmail or any other server is running other then qmail's.
Let me know what you find.
Take Care,
Dale
