qmail-send isn't running.
What do I need to change so it does run? When I restart the system,
qmail-send and qmail-stmp both show up with as being managed by supervise,
but you and Charles both say it is not running. What gives? Also,
according to Life with qmail, a properly configured qmail system should
have four daemons running, yet I obviously had only two. Where do the
other two processes begin running?

You have a typo in your qmail-smtpd/run file. I suspect you used
single quotes (') where you should have used back quotes (`).
Thank you for the pointer. I did indeed have singles instead of backs.
I would have expected qmail-inject to deliver the message as soon as
possible.
qmail-inject queues messages, it doesn't deliver them.
Thanks for the clarification.
me: My name is localhost.
The host name is localhost?
It was, Yes. My /etc/hosts file had the lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.bsd.local
192.168.0.102 gyrfalcon gyrfalcon.bsd.local
But I've since changed localhost to gyrfalcon, and commented out the
internal net address (192.x.x.x).
rcpthosts:
You don't want to accept mail via SMTP?
Once I get getmail to work delivering mail to my Maildir mailbox, I won't
need to accept mail via SMTP for the summer, no. BUT I will need/want to
use SMTP when I get back to school in the fall, and have an IP address
from which I would want to send/recieve mail (i.e. cary@[150.x.x.x]).
Is rcpthosts the correct place to put this address, or will it automaticly
be used (it is assigned by DHCP)?
concurencyincomming: I have no idea what this file does.
concurrencyimcoming is misspelled.
Again, thanks.

requesting messages from ezmlm
according to the mail I recieved when I signed up, I can request a copy of message 12345 by sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where do I find these numbers by which to request a message, or groups of messages? Thank you. Cary Mathews Abilene Christian University ACM Chair | Education Committee
mail queue getting bigger
After much playing around with qmail files, I believe I have gotten part of qmail working. I say part, because I have no trouble _sending_ mail, but in delivering it, either to users on the same machine or to diffrent hosts. Pine is using the /usr/sbin/sendmail wrapper provided by qmail to send mail. However, when I try to check the mail that was sent, it has not been delivered. I use bin/qmail-qstat to look a the queue, and it is growing bigger and bigger: ---results of bin/qmail-qstat--- messages in queue: 138 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 138 --- I ran ps -auxw | grep qmail to determine what qmail services I had running. As you can see, both qmail-send and qmail-smtpd are running. (As a side question, is qmail-send supposed to be running so much compared to the other processes? ---results of ps -auxw | grep qmail--- root4746 1.1 1.4 852 440 con- S12:25PM 3:08.61 \ supervise qmail-send root4748 0.0 1.4 852 440 con- I12:25PM 0:00.25 \ supervise qmail-smtpd root4755 0.0 1.6 892 520 ??

domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5)
My computer is behind a home firewall/DHCP server. under /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts is my DHCP address. I would like to send mail out with a FROM address of my free-mail address. Using Pine, when I try to send an email, I get the error message repeated in the subject line. qmail was installed via the ports collection on a FreeBSD 4.2-stable box. I've followed the directions in the FAQ regarding user masquerading, which was the closest thing I could find which compared to what I'm trying to do. What the FAQ said was add MAILHOST=domain.tld and MAILUSER=name to my enviroment. DONE. I added domain.tld to my /var/qmail/control/locals and rcpthosts files, beneath my DHCP address, as suggested for recieving mail for another host. DONE. I changed the /var/qmail/control/defaultdomain to domain.tld as per section 1.1 of the FAQ, just to see if it would help. After all these changes, I kill -HUP'd the qmail and inetd servers running. I hope I've included enough information, but I'd be happy to supply anything else relevant if necessary. If anyone could offer any help, I would much appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
