Not getting mail from smtpd
Hi! I'm definitely a newbie at mail administration, so please bear with me, or point me to the appropriate document in case I missed it. I've read the TEST.* INSTALL.* and FAQ files but haven't been able to get smtpd to get the mail into my mailbox. I'm using qmail-1.03 with the large packet DNS patch on OpenBSD 2.7. I'm using procmail to deliver the mail to the mail queue. Local mail seems to be working just fine, mail shows up in /var/mail/username, and BSD Mail can read it. I have been working on the remote receive by telneting to port 25 and sending the proper SMTP protocol (following the TEST.receive doc). I've checked the log in /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current and I don't see any errors (I'm at work and the log is at home, so I can't send the log, but it seems that smtpd is fat and happy! I can get them and repost if someone thinks they're of use), in fact I seem to be seeing new text being appended to the log and everything looks like a success! But beyond that I'm not seeing anything. I've checked /var/log/maillog to no avail. Can someone point to the next step? Thanks much for any help! Cheers, Craig

If I remember correctly (I know, this is purely speculation!), this is pretty much what my smtpd log looked like, only I'm looking in /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current. I didn't realize there were logs in /service, so maybe I'll see something different there. What should the smtpd do with the message if the log looks like this? Is it then processed by my /var/qmail/rc script? In that case (I'm using procmail right now, just trying to get this to work) should it then end up on my queue? Thanks for the help, I'm still in the "trying to understand it all" phase. I'll get my logs and repost (sounds like a good lunch thing to do!). > Hope that helps, > ---Chris K. > -- > Chris, the Young One |_ heartbleed (OpenBSD/i386) has now > been up for > Auckland, New Zealand |_ all of 30 days, 14:47:45 > http://cloud9.hedgee.com/ |_ > PGP: 0xCCC6114E/0x706A6AAD |_ > Cheers, Craig

I didn't realize there were logs in >/service, so maybe I'll see something different there. There's not really a standard location for logs. I suspect you were looking in the right place. >What should the >smtpd do with the message if the log looks like this? qmail-smtpd doesn't log anything. The log entries posted were from tcpserver, which logs the SMTP connection, and qmail-send, which logs the delivery. If you want to see how the pieces fit together, check out: http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#pictures >Is it then processed >by my /var/qmail/rc script? No, the rc script just starts qmail. >In that case (I'm using procmail right now, >just trying to get this to work) should it then end up on my queue? qmail-smtpd puts the message in the queue. qmail-send passes it off to qmail-lspawn for local delivery. qmail-lspawn looks for a .qmail file or uses the default delivery specification on the qmail-start command line (from /var/qmail/rc) to determine how to deliver the message. If it's to be delivered via procmail, qmail-local execs procmail. -Dave

Where is the queue? How do I trace where the message is getting lost? Sorry for the basic questions, but I haven't seen these documented anywhere before, no doubt I've missed something. > qmail-lspawn for local delivery. qmail-lspawn looks for a .qmail file > or uses the default delivery specification on the qmail-start command > line (from /var/qmail/rc) to determine how to deliver the message.
