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).
