Strange pending problem

[Richard Rawlings :: Pulse8 ::]

Hi All….   I have TMDA working fine with qmail+vpopmail but only with remote addresses. If I send a mail to my TMDA-protected address from a hotmail account I get the message asking me to confirm, so I reply and I get the confirmation message and the original mail delivers.   However, if instead of sending from the hotmail account I send from a pop account that ‘lives’ in the same virtual domain system as my tmda-protected address the mail goes into the pending directory but none of the confirmation emails get sent so it just sits there until I manually have to remove it.   Could this be down to local authentication failing or something? I use vchkpw for pop auth.   LOGFILE_DEBUG contains nothing.   LOGFILE_INCOMING contains:   Date: Wed Sep 3 16:14:24 BST 2003 From: "Richard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rept: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: test Actn: CONFIRM action_incoming                                           (7281)   Date: Wed Sep 3 16:14:24 BST 2003 From: "Richard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rept: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: test Actn: CONFIRM pending 1062602064.16897.msg                              (7281)   Date: Wed Sep 3 16:19:14 BST 2003 From: "Richard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rept: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: jhg Actn: CONFIRM action_incoming                                           (7492)   This is repeated for every attempt I try.   Thanks!   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Rawlings - Systems Administrator pulse8internet | the plains | waterside | totnes | devon | tq9 5dw | uk tel: +44 (0)1803 864545 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.pulse8internet.com fax: +44 (0)1803 867888 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
