I'm new to QMail and is trying to setup a server using RH 6.2.
I'm trying to set it up to become a SMTP and POP3 server.
I have followed the instructions as given by the user guide "Life with
QMail". It was able to start fine until I added the POP3 service using
"qmail-pop3d".
I added a directory 'qmail-pop3d' in '/var/qmail/supervise' with a 'run'
file saying
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 200 -v -p 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
192.168.1.205 \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
The other 'run' files that I had are:-
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/log/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/var/log/qmail/pop3
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 200 -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/var/log/qmail/smtpd
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /var/qmail/rc
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/var/log/qmail
When I started the the QMail service the error
tcpserver : fatal: unable to bind: address already used
started apperaing non-stop on the screen. I was able to send and receive
mail via a mail client though.
What actually caused this problem? If anybody knows or have experience this
problem before, please help or point me in the right direction to the
answers. I have tried reading the man pages of 'tcpserver'. That didn't help
me.
Thanks in advance.
