Tim, Thanks again for the help.
I do know that I can use "mail" to send out mail directly from the command line (and via a cron job I run). Looking at the headers of mail from "mail" states that it was sent using qmail from the machine running TMDA.Jeff Tupper / Pedagoguery Software Inc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:I have a ~/.tmda/config configuration file, as follows: -------------- CONFIRM_APPEND = "/usr/home/USER/.tmda/lists/confirmed" LOGFILE_DEBUG = "/usr/home/USER/.tmda/logs/debug" LOGFILE_INCOMING = "/usr/home/USER/.tmda/logs/incoming" LOGFILE_OUTGOING = "/usr/home/USER/.tmda/logs/outgoing" OUTGOINGMAIL = "smtp" SMTPHOST = ... HOSTNAME = ... MAIL_TRANSFER_AGENT = "qmail" -------------- Would my symptoms be expected if the SMTP server didn't want to send out mail? Would there then be no logging to any of the three log files specified in ~/.tmda/config ?That's certainly one reason TMDA would exit. If it was unable to send the confirmation response, it would defer the mail. TMDA connects to the SMTP server from localhost, so (if you're using qmail and tcpserver), you should make sure that 127.0.0.1 is allwed to relay. See the -x flag of tcpserver.
I can't see processes other than mine running on the system.
~/.tmda/crypt_key is 600Another issue might be permissions on your files. Can you post the permissions of ~/.tmda/crypt_key and ~/.tmda/logs/debug (if there is such a file)?
There are no files in ~/.tmda/logs ; the directory is 755 as is ~/.tmda
Changing the directories (~, ~/.tmda, ~/.tmda/logs) to 777 doesn't make a difference in observed behaviour.

If you find this file, please post its contents. There is no ~/TMDA_DELIVERY_FAILURE file. (I did manage to generate this file once by executing tmda-filter from the command line rather than through qmail - the traceback seemed to indicate that it couldn't find the sender - not surprising since there was no message... After I deleted the file it hasn't since reappeared.)Hmm. Well, if something is going wrong, it should appear (based on your current configuration) in the debug log file. Any messages that TMDA spits out should appear in your qmail log file (the qmail-send log, not the SMTP log). You might try looking at that to see why the message is deferred.
I don't have access to the qmail log files. Best wishes, Jeff -- _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
