Charles,
Excellent Reply!!! THIS is the type of reply I'd like to see
in lieu of "Read Life With Qmail". Not rude, just informative.
Hey, let's face it. Alot of the newbies simply don't even know
what they "need to know" before asking a question. (Including Me!)
This type of post educates them as to HOW to get the information
the "experts" need in order to get quality help...
Good work!
Bill

1) Read more documentation. You're almost certainly dealing with a
non-problem, or one which has been discussed to death in Dan's docs and the
mailing list.
2) Post useful error reports. The above tells us nothing. At the very
least, post all of the following information, _unedited_, with your messages
to the list, until you are certain what is relevant and what is not. Note:
despite the above, you do not know what is relevant and what is not until
you've successfully resolved a few dozen problems.
-the output of `qmail-showctl`
-your complete qmail start scripts, showing how you run qmail-start
and qmail-smtpd.
-any and all informational or error messages received
-what you expected to happen
-what you observed to happen
-sections of your qmail logs covering the whole incident you observed
-precise information on what software is in use: version of qmail, any
and all patches applied, other related software in use (vmailmgr,
vpopmail, relay-ctrl, Courier IMAP, etc)
