I'm not sure about the "Subject" that I use to describe this problem.
Yesterday when I telnet to my machine using port 25, I got the response from
my machine something like this :
Trying 192.168.0.1
Connected to server.saya.com.
Escape character is '^]
instead of ...
Trying 192.168.0.1
Connected to server.saya.com
Escape character is '^]'
220 server.saya.com.ESMTP
At this condition, it seems that email from remote is not sent directly to
users home directory (I use Maildir). The emails are in the queue.
At this condition, either I cannot use the machine to send email to remote.
I checked with qmail-qstat and it showed 105 in queue, but 0 in
'preprocessed'.
Anyone can tell me why this happens ?

This means that qmail-smtpd isn't being run. How did you install
qmail? How is qmail-smtpd run? Via tcpserver, inetd, or what?

In this condition, no mail comes in from remote systems,
period. Nothing gets added to the queue.
>The emails are in the queue.
No, not unless they came in before the SMTP service broke.
>At this condition, either I cannot use the machine to send email to remote.
If that's the case, you've got bigger problems. Perhaps qmail-send
isn't running or you're having connectivity problems.

Sounds like qmail-send isn't running.

Not until you give us more information about how qmail is installed.

I 'ps -ef' , and I can see that qmail-send is running.
I tried kill -1, but 'nothing' happened.

Is there anyway I can make qmail-lspawn to tell the delivery program the recipient
name in lowercase?
If not, how can I make maildrop to do the search in case insensitive? Should I only do
the 'tolower' I've done when maildrop receive it?

As far as I know Qmail is a package with a lot of programs like smtpd, popd, MTA, MDA,
etc.
The only thing I want to change is the MDA for the local messages comming to the final
user: qmail-local as default.
Vpopmail uses vdelivermail.
I want to use maildrop to do that. So every user will have a quota delivery system
with filter features.

Hi!
Is there any mail2news and news2mail script especially designed to work
with qmail? I just found mail2news-easy in France and think to use it,
but there may be better things.

Actually, my question may not require the expertise of a famous Belgian
detective, so one of you guys might be able to help...
Server: MX and POP qmail server
Problem: Inbound mail taking unusually long to arrive
When I examined the system, it appeared to be neither cpu, memory, nor i/o
bound. Also, checking the various logs, none of the following concurrencies
were maxed: local, remote, smtp, pop. Also, the error log reported no errors
(such as "unable to fork", etc).
However, when I ran qmail-qstat, it showed ~3300 messages in the queue
(normally this is closer to 400). In the past, this has indicated an
onslaught on spam. But if resources are available, and smtp and local have
concurrency available, I don't understand why ANY incoming message would not
show up in someone's mailbox promptly.
So after an hour or so of analysis, I noticed that the queue was finally
beginning to slowly but steadly drop on its own, and when it dropped to
~1900, some of my own delayed messages arrived, and I assumed the problem
was on its way out, so I left it to heal on its own.
One more thing: normally with spam, the spammer uses an invalid return
address, so the bounces retry in the queue for days before expiring. Perhaps
this spammer used a valid return address, so the bounces delivered promptly,
and were removed from the queue right away. So that might explain why the
queue dropped quickly. But I still don't see why incoming mail would be
delayed.
Your thoughts and analysis are greatly welcome!
Dave
:)

For whatever it's worth, below is ONE of the more common spam messages I
found in the queue during that time. I have no idea if it was the main
culprit:

OK, good so far.

I don't either.
Did you try injecting a message and tracking it through the logs? You
need to identify where they're lingering.
And have you check your trigger?

When this occurs, how many messages does qmail-qstat report as not yet
being processed, as opposed to fully processed and in the queue? If this
number is large, you may want to look at the big-todo patch.

Thanks for the note. ALL the messages are always preprocessed in this
scenario.
Dave
That figure means they're not delivered yet, either locally or remotely. It
usually just means that the messages are deferring, either because the
remote server is down or something else "normal". They will either deliver
eventually, or else they will expire and then bounce.

I come across following links which might help you to get your
answers. As I believe you are trying to setup mail service with multihoming,

Sure. First, avoid using made-up example domains. Show us exactly what
you've got in control/locals, control/virtualdomains, and
control/rcpthosts.

The users/assign entry you provided seems to be associated with a
virtual domain: <organization>.<com>, perhaps. But in your
.qmail-postmaster script, you're not forwarding to
john.doe.jr@<organization>.<com>.
-Dave
Dave,
Thanks for your reply.
1) Yes - I am defining a virtual domain.
2) Forwarding command in the .qmail-postmaster file. Can you please detail
for me what the contents of this file should be? In reading several
internet sources, no one agrees on what should be in that file (some say
TOUCH the file, some say just put the name in the file, you are saying put a
FORWARD in the file).
Please write the contents of the .qmail-postmaster file for me to review.
Thanks you very much for this assistance.
Tom

The users/assign entry you provided seems to be associated with a
virtual domain: <organization>.<com>, perhaps. But in your
.qmail-postmaster script, you're not forwarding to
john.doe.jr@<organization>.<com>.

All of those are valid things to do. An empty .qmail file is the same
as a .qmail file that contains the defaultdelivery argument from teh
qmail-start commad line. Putting a name is the file is telling qmail
to forward the mail to that user. If you just specify a username,as
you've done, you're essentially forwarding to user@me.
So, in your case, where you want to forward to
john.doe.jr@<organization>.<com>, you want your .qmail file to
contain:
john.doe.jr@<organization>.<com>
This is all detailed in the dot-qmail man page.
-Dave
Dave,
I added the following to the .qmail-postmaster file in the alias directory:
john.doe.jr@<company>.<org>
I still receive the mailer-daemon message.
What other data can I provide you to unscramble this mystery?
Thanks!

Tim,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I placed:
&john:doe:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in the file ~alias/.qmail-postmaster
and it still did not work. I still received the same message back from the
server.
As mentioned before, the line
=missionprinting-org-john.doe.jr:pop3ctrl:508:503:/popboxes/mprnt/doej2
is in the users/assign file.
I am really confused why I am having this trouble. Everything else seems to
work just fine.
Thank you very much for your help. Do you have further suggestions? Is
there any data that I can provide to help shed some light on this?
Regards,
Tom

First, I assume you're talking about locally-injected messages
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Of course there's no way to have
other systems on the Internet bypass yahoo.com for certain addresses.
I do this via virtualdomains. In control/virtualdomains, add a line
like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:joe
Then create a ~joe/.qmail-flamingo or ~joe/.qmail-default.

I have a Linux box connected to an ISP vvia ppp and I am trying
to install qmail+serialmail. I am running slackware 7.0 with
named daemon and I have several problems.
I created var/qmail and the users and group and compiled and installed
the programs. Then I try ./config which fails
Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# ./config
Your hostname is mandrake.
soft error
Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS.
You will have to set up control/me yourself.
Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03#
This is in a way unexcpected because I am running named and in /etc/hosts
I have
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 Mandrake.tin.it Mandrake
127.0.0.1 clubnet.tin.it
# End of hosts.
but I am not a real expert so.....
Having read "Mail with qmail" by D. L. Vander Woude
I followed the suggestion and did
Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# echo 'Mandrake.tinit' > /var/qmail/control/me
and I created the alias.
Then I moved /var/spool/mail/root to /root/Mailbox (I did this also
for another user just in case....)
and did a
Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# ln -s ~/Mailbox /var/spool/mail/root
I copy /var/qmail/boot/home /var/qmail/rc and I launch /var/qmail/rc
then I pass to TEST.deliver
In /var/adm messages I read
Aug 31 16:18:42 Mandrake qmail: 967731522.987914 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
and ps aux | grep qmail gives me

qmail never delivers to root. Please read the docs again and LWQ should help.

qmail doesn't look at /etc/hosts. Ever.

The capital "M" might be causing problems. Domain names are case
insensitive, but you should use lowercase everywhere just in case.
> Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# ln -s ~/Mailbox /var/spool/mail/root
qmail doesn't deliver mail to privileged users.
I suggest you take a few minutes and scan "Life with qmail". See:
http://lwq.w3.to
-Dave
Hi!
We are expanding our server park, and we are going to loadshare services
over several machines, and mail is ofcourse one of those services.
I can't find any information about how ezmlm would handle this. If two
machines are running qmail and ezmlm, qmail will ofcourse have a local
queue on each machine, but will ezmlm be able to handle delivering from
two machines to the same shared nfs filesystem, or do i need to let only
one of the machines handle ezmlm?
Thanks in advance for any input!

In addition to the other replies telling you how to make this work with
qmail, you might want to consider running nullmailer instead -- it's
designed for this type of thing, where qmail is probably overkill.
It's written by Bruce Guenter, and borrows a lot of design principles from
qmail and djb. Check out http://www.em.ca/~bruceg/nullmailer/ for more.

It means "multiple systems acting as a single system". For example,
"aol.com" is not a single, huge 25,000 horsepower server box that
handles all of AOL's incoming mail. Instead, "aol.com" points to a
list of mail exchangers (MX's), any of which will accept mail for
addresses at aol.com. When AOL needs additional incoming SMTP
capacity, they can either add new entries to their MX record, or they
can upgrade existing systems. Since there are many of them, if one
breaks or is down for upgrading or patching, their mail still works.
It's also possible to cluster POP and IMAP servers, either with
partitioned or shared responsibilities. E.g., you could have two POP
servers: one for users whose names start with the letters A-M and
another for those starting with N-Z. That spreads the load, but
doesn't provide redundancy: if a server is down, some users are unable
to access their mail. Alternatively, you can have multiple POP servers
accessing a shared high-availability mail store like a
network-attached RAID. The RAID is still a single-point-of-failure,
but it's designed to minimize downtime. qmail's maildir format is
especially well suited to storage on a network-attached RAID since it
avoids messy locking problems.

Hi again.
First of all, thanks for your help.
Well, following your suggestion, I found out that
nothing was listening to port 110, actually. Following instructions in LWQ,
I've chosen qmail-pop3d: I installed
checkpassword-0.81and I added the entry in /etc/inetd.conf slightly modified
(I'm using inetd):
pop3 tcp nowait root /var/qmailbin/qmail-popup hostname.domain /bin checkpassword
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
Telnetting port 110 I receive an OK! message but
it's not possible to be authenticated.
I would like to use tcpserver ONLY (I can see it
still running under svscan--supervise) and use something like the script I
see
in LWQ (I tried to do it, with no
success).
By studying and trying, I have more
and more knowledge of E-mail system and Linux (I like it): but it
would be nice to see qmail running,
either.
Thank/you/once/again.
Marco

For tcpserver you
want something like this
mail:~$ cat
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/home/vpopmail/bin
export
PATH
exec tcpserver -v -H
-c5 0 pop-3 qmail-popup mail.cimx.com \
vchkpw qmail-pop3d
Maildir 2>&1
mail:~$ cat
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/log/run
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export
PATH
exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t s200000
/var/log/qmail/pop3d
Change the files and
paths accordingly
looking at your
inetd line however I do not think you want a space between /bin and
checkpasswd
dont you want
/bin/checkpassword ??

Well, that's your problem #1. inetd.conf knows nothing about line
continuation. Put that all one one line.

Well, this is your problem #2. Your inetd wants you to insert a
argv0 for qmail-popup. (If you don't understand that sentence,
ignore it.) Fix the line to read
pop3 tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup
hostname.domain /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
Maildir
and make sure it's all on one line.
[Note: You may need to consult your /etc/services: Some systems
have "pop3" and some systems have "pop-3". Since you actually
_get_ a pop3 prompt, I guess you've got this part right.]

I'm not sure if this has had a response yet, and sorry about the time delay.
Take a look at control/virtualdomains and rcpthosts. These files need to
have some type of alias information set up so that mail.thumb.net and
thumb.net get transferred to the control of the same user.
Ex.:
For virtualdomains:
mail.thumb.net:vpopmail
thumb.net:vpopmail
For rcpthosts:
mail.thumb.net
thumb.net

Somebody, know how do delete qmail binarys
I installed with a version corrupt and

When I run "qmail start"
Show me this:

4303:/sbin/loader: Fatal Error: cannot malloc
4306:/sbin/loader: Fatal Error: cannot malloc
4309:/sbin/loader: Fatal Error: cannot malloc

Well, "rm /bar/qmail/bin/*" should do the trick, but there's really no
need since a reinstall will replace everything anyway.

Did you see my message about this yesterday? I think you need to raise
the "softlimit" limit in your /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run to
3000000 or 4000000.
-Dave
Dear Dave
I change my file /usr/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
Now it's:
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 4000000\
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
Is this correct?
but, Still have the error
12351:/sbin/loader: Fatal Error: cannot malloc
12354:/sbin/loader: Fatal Error: cannot malloc
12357:/sbin/loader: Fatal Error: cannot malloc
I have installed qmail in a Digital Unix Alpha Worktation 500u with Tru64
4.0F .

OK, first try this:
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
In other words, skip softlimit completely. If the error goes away,
we've at least identified the problem. The next step is to put
softlimit back and raise the limit until it works, e.g., by doubling
it each time...8000000, 16000000, etc., then dropping it until it
breaks again. The right value should be about the first even multiple
of 1000000 that works.

I'm new to qmail and I need some help from you guys. I know that if
I want to capture emails that are coming out of my box to wrong outside
addresses, then all I have to do is add &[EMAIL PROTECTED] to the
.qmail-default file and the message will then be routed to my
badoutgoing box. At the same time, I also want to have the capability
of capturing the emails of outside users trying to send emails to
unknown users in my system. I want these emails to be routed to my
badincoming mailbox. How could I get these two things working properly
on my system.
Thank you for your help,

Read the "INSTALL.alias" file that came with qmail's distribution,
particularly the last paragraph.
Beware that accepting everything like this could lead to a pretty bloated
mailbox for the alias account, plus, without additinal tweaking, remote
users won't know if their message didn't make it through, since there will
never be a bounce message.

You've got it backwards: ~alias/.qmail-default will catch bad
"incoming" (local) addresses. There's really no way to catch bad
outgoing (remote) addresses because only the remote system can tell
which ones are good and which are bad. You could intercept bounces, I
suppose, but what's the point?

Hi,
i've a SCO OpenServer5 system and the rc script failed on start:
/var/qmail/rc
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH"
qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail
only i see the process id, but no process is running and no logging
in syslog (because no splogger process). Have you any idea?
Thanks for the help!

I just decided to manually run the RSS relay tests (telnet to
mail-abuse.org, and it will start a relay test on the machine that connected
to it). qmail, of course, didn't relay any messages, but I was wondering
why it gave one response it did:
Relay test 7
>>> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[216.168.105.33]>
<<< 250 ok
>>> RCPT TO:<"nobody%mail-abuse.org">
<<< 250 ok
>>> RSET
<<< 250 flushed
Why the '250 ok' ? Why would it accept "nobody%mail-abuse.org"? Maybe I
need to re-read the RFCs?

Because there's no domain, so it defaults to @me -- i.e., qmail will accept
this email and try to deliver it to the local user named "nobody%mail-abuse.org"
at your default domain. Probably it will end up bouncing, unless you have
an ~alias/.qmail-default.

Thanks for your answer!
I've seen this program some months ago and I think it was very slow if
the queue was very long. It read all the qmail/queue/mess/* searching
for headers. It could last much time if the msg is very big.
But I think now one can tell it to look only for the numbers and let
delete it.
I've made some changes to make it able to work with daemontools.

Hrmf. This doesn't work here. It reports 0 mesages at all times (even
though I've got 500+ in the queue right now).
Suggestions? My queue is at /var/qmail/queue. I run it as root. ??

Arg. The scripty comes packaged as suid. I unpacked as a non-priv user,
so when I ran it as root, it changed back to non-priv user. Error
checking on the opendir funtion would be nice. :-)

... mail is being rejected from one of my clients to one of their partners

and checking the host names (which I've seen some mail server software, like
Imail, do). Logs:

You should be able to put:
wwd.von.ca:queue1.magma.ca
in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes. This will route all mail to <*@wwd.von.ca>
to the queue1.magma.ca server. See qmail-remote(8) for more info.

Make the subdomain a virtual domain. Assign that virtual domain to a
single user, and have a file ~user/.qmail-domain-default deliver to a
single Maildir or such.

What did you think of FAQ 3.2?
Regards.
First off, I've read the FAQ. :)
Basically, I've got relaying set up for a selected range of
subnets, using ucspi-tcp. That looks good - attempting to
send messages from within the right range allow the RCPT
line, remote attempts fail, as expected.
The issue is that qmail takes the message from the right
host, says ok, and nothing happens with it. Doesn't bounce,
get to the destination, anything. Locally spooled mail
works fine - I've been using that for a while.
I have a feeling it's something extremely simple, but I
can't find it. The mail goes in, just never gets queued
to be delivered (or something to that effect.)
Any ideas?

If so, you didn't follow it. You gave us no config files, no output of
qmail-showctl, didn't show us your tcp.rules file, and quoted no logs.

In case anyone on the list is using or is trying to use chkpw/qmailadmin,
there is an error in the FAQ.
In the section that discusses setting up one of the domains to be a primary
it says that in order to configure vchkpw to have one of your virtual
domains work like users listed in /etc/passwd (not using %domainname in the
username for a pop login) it says the compile option
is --enable-roaming-users=domainname The option actually
is --enable-default-domain=domainname
I don't know if this has already been addressed in this list or in a list
for vchkpw, but here is the fix if anyone else has been getting kicked in
the ass by this for the past week like i have been.

Have you brought this up on the vchkpw mailing list? With the package owner
(<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)? Those are better places than this one...

Does qmail-lspawn look for local user before it calls qmail-local?
I've been told that "it is not the job of a mail delivery agent, such as
maildrop, to figure out whether a user exists, or not. That's the mail
server's job. That's what it's supposed to do. If the recipient mailbox
does not exist, the mail server must bounce the message, instead of
running a local mail delivery agent for a non-existent account".

if I throttle my script and sleep long enough for these to close it
seems to work.. UNfortunatelt I'm trying to do some timings on resouce
requirements on qmail-local and it does not provide enough of a "real"

problem.
Thanks

Mike,
Look at the MAN pages for tcpserver there is a FLAH -c for connection
the Default is set at 40..

Hi again,
I had a situation a while back where qmail was delivering the mail to the location
specified in the qmail-start command line (Mailbox, turns out I was using the wrong
init script to start qmail) instead of Maildir (Where LDAP and the correct init script
tell it to go). When LDAP went down a few times a few weeks ago, the users without a
.qmail file in their dir (all were supposed to have this file, which uses ./Maildir)
ended up with their mail in the Mailbox file, which pop3 and imapd ignore. Is there
any way for me to make this mail available to my users? Sorry if this is the wrong
list to post this question. If so, can you please refer me to the correct list?
Thanks in advance

Excellent! It's just a perl script so I modified to to run on my box, since all the
users are LDAP based (hence, have no environment). Thanks. BTW, this did not come with
my qmail, I had to find it on the internet. mailbox2mbox comes with qmail, though.

Hey all!
I really need to intercept mail coming from outside users that are
trying to contact an unknown user on my mail system. Does anyone know
how to do it? Also, I do not know how to reply to this list, can
someone just give me quick instructions?
Thanks again,

If i understand you correctly, you should be able to do:
echo "wilson" >> ~alias/.qmail-default
to send all mail bound for unknown local users to your account.

Not quite sure what you mean. Everything sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gets sent out to everyone on the list. Send any message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to get instructions from ezmlm, the guy
that manages the list...

I would like to know how can I create an email , so when
I send a message using this email it will send a copy of it to all users in
my email system including virtual emails but , if an user try to make a
reply of this email , it only will send a email to the email that I use to
send to all user and not to all users in my server . I don't want to create
a moderated mailing list to do it .
Sorry for these questions ,

I have a ~alias/.qmail-all with all of my user's names in it, and this
allows me to send messages out to the entire company by sending one
message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Works great, but one caveat: you should put
in a script at the top that checks to make sure the sender is local, and
returns an error code (man dot-qmail) if not. This is to prevent outside
users from sending emails to everyone on your system.

it all into a SRPM.

Hi folks!
I have the following dilema:
peter is a user on my system. peter subscribes to this mailing list.
how can I make sure peter getts the messages from this list?
I ask this because the 'TO:' field doesn't point to the local user but
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The only place that peter's name commes up is here:
Received: from muncher.math.uic.edu (muncher.math.uic.edu
[131.193.178.181])
by www.subdimension.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id XAA10288
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 31 Aug 2000 23:02:05 -0400
right now peter is receiving the messages because he is the postmaster:
fetchmail: no local matches, forwarding to postmaster
fetchmail: forwarding to localhost
fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL
FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]
please help me become a user ;)
Thanks,
Peter

MTAs route mail by the envelope-sender, not the To: header. If ezmlm at
list.cr.yp.to has Peter's correct email address, Peter should get his mail.

I have a problem that maybe someone has an answer for...
>From time to time our mailserver's connection to the net dies. When it does
this we switch over to a mirrored server on a different ISP. Works great
except from time to time, messages will get "stranded" between the
transition.
Is there an easy way to "redeliver" the messages in someone's Maildir?
I think you could almost do something like this:
cat ~user/Maildir/new/* | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
but when I tried it, it didn't work... Also, that would mean I would have
to type it for each user on the box.
I really think there has to be some way to tie together:
ls, grep, cat and some qmail program to list all the mail in the maildirs
and reput them in the queue (which would then see it as remote and deliver
it to the other box)
Thanks,
John
With the serialmail package from the Q-Mail's author, there is a program
called maildirsmtp, which picks up a Maildir and resends it via SMTP.
You could set up a simple script to grab all the Maildir entries and sent
them each through this program in a loop. The maildir path is a parameter
to maildirsmtp.

Charles Warwick

Hi,
I'm trying to set up virtual domains with Qmail right now. I'm sure
there's plenty of documentation other there on this, but I don't seem to
be finding it. Any pointers to documentation, or help would be
appreciated.
What I am trying to accomplish is to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] go to
user1 and [EMAIL PROTECTED] go to user2.
So far, I have been able to set qmail up to allow [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go
to user1, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to user1, but not get the same
username on different domains to go to differnt system user.
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have installed qmail and vpopmail for virtual domains. But when i
send mails to a virtual domain....mail doesn't go into their
maildirs....qmail reports no errors. It doesn't reject the mail.
I understand that to install qmail... you need to have a DNS server
with your MX record set. And vpopmail will modify files in your
~qmail/control dir. but hell, where did all my mails go to?
I probably misconfigured something....any pointers from gurus out
there??

Hi folks:
I got a problem, I think it could be series. The situation is:
I want to use Email reader to catch email from qmail+vpopmail+tcpserver.
First, the mail system will check account/password, I sure it ok, it means this
is a legal. Now, I want to send some email to different people by this qmail
system, now, the email system response me a error or information message, I can
not sure what type of messages, is
the server may not be accepting connection or may be
busy,
try connecting again later
But, I can sure my connection works, and just for send/receive email.
What can I do???
Thanks,
mARS
