Hello,
I got too questions about qmail and tcpserver. If the tcpserver program is
off topic here, please advise me to the right list.
1. How can I delete every message existing in the queue?
2. I'm using tcpserver to start qmail and it seems to work. But there is a
little thing I don't understand. On my FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE machine I added
the follwing configuration file into /etc/rc:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 82 -g 81 0 smtp \
/var/qmail/bin/smtpd
After I added this line I rebooted the machine and it stopped right at the
point where it was supposed to excute the line above. It didn't crash and I
was able to talk to my server on port 25 it just didn't proccess the rest of
the startup scripts. Because it looked the way that
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd was waiting on stdin I added an ampersand at the
and of the line so /bin/sh would start it as a background process. It seems
to work that way but I'm confused because I read twice in two different docs
that no ampersand is needed. At least it wasn't printed there. Can anyone
enlighten me?
