Since you were testing your SMTP set-up (unless my memory is failing again), you might try the following SMTP conversaion (assuming your local user name is ``you''): ehlo localhost mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> data . quit After this, neither the sender nor recipient should show up as empty in your logs. Note: you can't omit the angle brackets. ---Chris K. -- Chris, the Young One |_ If you can't afford a backup system, you can't Auckland, New Zealand |_ afford to have important data on your computer. http://cloud9.hedgee.com/ |_ ---Tracy R.

RE: Not receiving mail sent through smtpd
It looks like to me a bad smtp session, was this created manually? or by some mailer? -Original Message- From: Craig L. Ching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2000 10:38 AM To: qmail Distribution List (E-mail) Subject: Not receiving mail sent through smtpd Hi! Thanks for the help on this so far, the pointers have really helped me understand qmail. I've nailed down the problem, but I still don't know how to resolve it. Basically, the clue was in my qmail-send logs. Here's an example of what I'm seeing: @40003981b5cf1637e39c new msg 12548 @40003981b5cf16432284 info msg 12548: bytes 2104 from <> qp 12047 uid 105 ^ ---| Nothing here and @40003981b5cf16d538f4 starting delivery 3956: msg 12548 to local @sumo.craig-home.org ^ | Nothing here. @40003981b5cf16e3c39c status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @40003981b5cf1ba4fcfc delivery 3956: success: did_0+0+2/ @40003981b5cf1bb890b4 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @40003981b5cf1bbea364 end msg 12548 Does this look familiar to anyone? Thanks for all the help! Cheers, Craig
