Hi folks,
Pardon the simplicity on this one, but there's lots of references to smtp and
inet (in the docs) without any explanation, or hints on how to troubleshoot...
Basically, all local deliveries are fine using qmail-inject. When I try to
do anyhting that uses smtp, I get "Connection refused". To add insult to
injury, I cannot determine where or if qmail is actually logging any events,
and cannot tell if the server(s) are running correctly.
I've tried the check utilities (run without a response, ASSUMING everything
went ok); I have tried the different TEST.* docs, and am fine until I get to
the dreaded "telnet localhost 25" step which fails.
I've installed tcpserver and everything looks ok there as well - but it
appears that smtp just doesn't fire up. Here is the current line in
inetd.conf:
tcpserver -u 508 -g 507 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
Before using tcpserver, it was:
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env \
/var/qmail/bin/qmailsmtpd
ps reports all qmaild-* processes running , and AFAIK everything was setup
ok. Does anyone know where I can start to find out what's busted? I really
would like to use qmail - I've heard/read so much about it - but getting it
to go appears more difficult than the others.
Also, there's very little available reference on the configuration of qmail
(other than the main site and a few docs with the distribution). Where are
other good places to get info?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
