Sendmail is not running and the /etc/services looks correct, but the
/etc/inted.conf contains the following lines:
#smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
#smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v
baboon.ehosting.ch 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
The are commented but I think this isn't correct and there is a note:
NOTE: This is no longer the correct way to handle incoming SMTP
# connections for qmail. Use tcpserver
(http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html)
# instead.
Now I don't know how I can correct it?
If I start the whole thing then there are about 10 clearopensmtp and crons
(maybe some other qmail stuff)
which use 100% of the CPU. That could be right?
I followed exactly the tutorial from the inter7.com homepage.
I will have a look to the tutorial from Matt but it looks very similar, but
maybe the little difference will help me ;-))
