well, that part of the documentation finally made sense, so here's
what i got doing the commands in the doc
[chanover@ltg-pmac2 chanover]$ telnet <mymachine>.edu smtp
Trying 141.213.36.39...
Connected to <mymachine>.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 <mymachine>.edu ESMTP
helo dude
250 <mymachine>.edu
mail jesus@<mymachine>.edu
250 ok
rcpt jesus@<mymachine>.edu
250 ok
data
354 go ahead
subject: this is a test
this is just a test
.
250 ok 988594037 qp 466
quit
221 <mymachine>.edu
Connection closed by foreign host.
and, of course, nothing was delivered. sure enough, it's sitting in
~qmail/queue/mess/20/
this us just a thought, and i'm going to seem incredibly stupid if
this is the answer:
the file permissions for my mailbox are:
-rw------- 1 jesus jesus 3384 Apr 20 10:50 Mailbox
looks like the smtpd is running as qmaild:
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild
/home/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env$
please tell me it just doesn't have write permission to my mailbox.
