From looking at the archives, I realize this is
about the thousandth of these you've seen, but I couldn't find in there a
solution to my problem. I'm running Mandrake 7.1, qmail 1.03; I installed
qmail following Adam McKenna's HOW-TO, and it works just fine from the
localhost.
However, when I try to use it as an SMTP relay, it
barfs. From Outlook Express I actually get a message that tells me the
mail host dropped the connection suddenly (but, if I hit retry a couple of
times, eventually it goes through). From a little DOS-based command-line
mailer I've got, I get no message, but watching
/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current while I'm trying to send shows that the
connection is established and then dropped before I even start typing the body
of the message.
I followed the HOW-TO's instructions on creating
the smtp.tcp.cdb file, and when I check the tcpserver process using ps it shows
that at least on the command line it is specified correctly.
Any suggestions? In fact, the relay and all
the clients are behind a firewall, so even having a completely open relay
wouldn't be terrible, but I would like to know how to do it properly.
Thanks.
