***notice problem with xinetd***
How it happened:
I am trying to install TMDA and have been testing it
in one account only called junkmail at scottonstott
dot com.
1. I edited /var/qmail/assign and changed the first
letter to + from =. This was done to let qmail
understand TMDA's extensions. Without this I kept
getting bounces "Unable to chdir to maildir".
2. Ran /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu
3. Restarted qmail and xinetd
4. edited
/var/qmail/mailnames/scottonstott.com/junkmail/.tmda/config
and added HOSTNAME = "scottonstott.com"
========================
The result was that TMDA seemed to finally work. I was
momentarily very happy (I've been working on this for
2 days). But then I noticed that now I couldn't
receive email from the outside world anymore ON ALL OF
MY ACCOUNTS AND DOMAINS. *freakout*
So, trying to backtrack, I re-edited /var/qmail/assign
and made it the way it was before, ran qmail-newu,
restarted qmail and xinetd BUT NO JOY. I have the
manifestation of the problem on all of my domains and
accounts. I have rebooted twice but still no luck.
I think the xinetd "id not unique" is suspicious.
Since I "undid" what I did, the only thing that has
changed is the fact that I restarted xinetd and qmail.
Is there a way to give xinetd a unique id? Or could it
be a mysterious relaying issue?
Here is my /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa
service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
disable = no
user = root
instances = UNLIMITED
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/relaylock
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd tcpcontrol
/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
/var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /bin/true
/var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /bin/true
}
===============
Most .qmail files are very simple:
| true
./Maildir/
The junkmail account where I've been testing TMDA has
a .qmail file that is:
|preline /usr/local/src/tmda/bin/tmda-filter
./Maildir/
And there is a symbolic link from .qmail-default to
.qmail:
drwx------ 5 popuser popuser 4096 Oct 21
13:58 .
drwx------ 9 popuser popuser 4096 Oct 21
14:11 ..
drwx------ 2 popuser popuser 4096 Aug 22
18:54 @attachments
drwx------ 6 popuser popuser 4096 Oct 19
18:52 Maildir
-rw-r--r-- 1 popuser popuser 56 Oct 21
12:26 .qmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 popuser popuser 6 Oct 21
12:22 .qmail-default -> .qmail
drwxr-xr-x 8 popuser popuser 4096 Oct 20
21:45 .tmda
Any help is greatly appreciated.
