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).

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 ??
