I'm a new list member, and usually, when I start on a list, I like to
spend a few days/weeks getting the feel of the place before I start
talking, but this time I don't have a choice, I'm in a bit of a bind and
need some serious help.

First of all, while I have a fair amount of unix / pc experience, I am
somewhat new to email in general and qmail in particular.

I have just set up a qmail box for my school to replace an aging exim
server.  We *THOUGHT* everything was working and had scheduled the
rollout for tonight when we realized that only some of the e-mail from
the outside world is getting in.

According to the smtp logs, everything is being delivered to the box,
but a fair amount of it is never actually delivered (per the send log).

A bit of information in no partcular order:

I don't think it is a virus/spam check that is stopping the mail, on the
off chance it was, I disabled both virus and spam checking in simscan
and the problem did not go away. Then just to be thurough, I turned off
both the clamd and spamd daemons.  We have an e-mail filtering appliance
out in front of this box anyway, so I don't need any of that.

I am using the centos version of qmail-toaster from qmailtoaster.com, I
started with the VM build from:

http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/579

This has qmail, vqadmin-2.3.4, qmailadmin-1.2.9, qmailmrtg7-42, and
isolog-2.1

I checked my queue with the:

qmailctl queue

command.  It says that there is one mail message in the queue pending
delviery, so that's not the issue. After a minute or two, it showed
empty.

The results of the qmailctl stat command are:

authlib: up (pid 2060) 144335 seconds
clamd: up (pid 2055) 144335 seconds
imap4: up (pid 2064) 144335 seconds
imap4-ssl: up (pid 2071) 144335 seconds
pop3: up (pid 2067) 144335 seconds
pop3-ssl: up (pid 2063) 144335 seconds
send: up (pid 26399) 54483 seconds
smtp: up (pid 26405) 54483 seconds
spamd: up (pid 2062) 144335 seconds
authlib/log: up (pid 2057) 144335 seconds
clamd/log: up (pid 2054) 144335 seconds
imap4/log: up (pid 2087) 144335 seconds
imap4-ssl/log: up (pid 2069) 144335 seconds
pop3/log: up (pid 2058) 144335 seconds
pop3-ssl/log: up (pid 2059) 144335 seconds
send/log: up (pid 2056) 144335 seconds
smtp/log: up (pid 2070) 144335 seconds
spamd/log: up (pid 2061) 144335 seconds

I'm not sure how to list what patches have been applied, if someone can
give me some idea how to provide this I will.

I have a test account on the box.  Some mail gets to me and some does
not.  I can't figure a rhyme or reason for it, and the mail that does
NOT get there shows up in the smtp logs as getting to the box, but then
just vanishes.

Any ideas PLEASE!! This box was supposed to "go live" for use yesterday
and I'm at my wits end.

Thanks,

James


PS, if you need any more info, just ask, I'll get it to you.
