Re: [Waitman] qpsmtpd errors

[Daniel Camacho]

Hi
I'm having a problem with qpsmtpd. When  I run it for the first time, it 
works fine for a about a minute then slows down considerably and 
connections to the server times out. I'm also getting the following in the 
log when I use PPerl and qpsmtpd-forkserver.

making socket: IO::Socket::INET: Permission denied
Also, can someone explain what qpsmtpd-forkserver and qpsmtpd-server are?

Thanks for your help.

Do you still get the same error? Even though it exists? If so, I would 
have to say check the owner of /var/spool/smtpd and check the permissions 
on /var/spool to make sure that the smtp server owner can get in there.

Also, check to make sure that the smtp server process can read all the 
files in your installation directory, and config directory.

config/spool_dir is a file.
mine has a single line that reads
/var/spool/smtpd:
with the colon at the end.

Hi Waitman,
Thanks for the quick response. I created the '/var/spool/smtpd' directory 
but it still gives me that error. I made sure the permissions are correct 
as well. Any other ideas? Is the spool_dir a file or a directory. Thanks.

if you don't set the spool directory in config/spool_dir it defaults to 
"/var/spool/smptd".

make sure this directory exists, that the process running the smtp 
server owns it and it is chmod 0700.

 my $self = shift;
 my $data = shift;

      die "Permissions on the spool_dir are not 0700" if $mode & 07077;

Hi,
I just installed qpsmtpd and I'm trying to figure out a couple of 
problems. I was able to run it but when I check the logs, I get the 
following errors. I hope someone can explain this to me and provide a 
fix. Thanks.
