One possibility is that qmail-smtpd is running but the main parts of qmail are
not.  See other messages in the list for a solution.

Perhaps qmail isn't actually running; post the output of `ps auxw | grep
qmail` or `ps -ef | grep qmail`, and we'll be able to tell you that much.

However, to tell you anything more after that, we will need:

  -the unedited output of `qmail-showctl`
  -a copy of your qmail startup script
  -cut & paste copies of any error messages or relevant log entries
  -a general summary of how you installed and configured qmail

Ok I can do that,but why the injection of mail thro the port number 25
also just puts the mail in queue without delivering?
But I think I need to apply qmail-dns patch.

ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail

Hi,

I think its problem of  pine 

how did you check that mail is in queue? mailq ...

make sure this links are created .. as few mail program looks for 
sendmail

mv /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.old# ignore errors
mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.old  # ignore errors
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail

and try 

If still problem ... in user's home directory you will find .pinerc  ... 
rename or delete this file and try 
Even pine doesn't support maildir format ... there is patch for pine to 
support qmail

Re: Re: Re: smtp times out

Hai,
172.16.69.7 is the internal dns server.
$/var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote anysmtpservername senderaddress
reciveraddress 
works fine.
But when I try to send mail from my pine.It just puts the mail in the
queue.I can see 2 mails in the queue to mailandnews.com.The same mail
reaches the recipient([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if I use qmail-remote
directly.So I don't think there is any blocking in the firewall.

Is 172.16.69.7 is your local dns server?
more over there are four entries for nameserver, which is wrong 
according to RFCs.  
so for time being and testing, just remove first entry and try ... 
sending mail to say yahoo, hotmail, rediff.
If it goes, then try sending mails to your internal network, if it gives 
error this time, then make second nameserver as 172.16.69.7 (again if it is 
your dns server)
before that try to ping to 202.54.1.30?

As you are behind firewall, make sure in firewall server or routers, to 
enable support for smtp and related protocols.

Yes, it matters, it looks first nameserver .. if it does't resolve or 
find records in two sec, it goes to next namserver( afaik and rfc says)
