Newbe new qmail install

Well here goes.. I'll take a beating to get this going.......

I have gone through the Life with Qmail section 2.8 time and again but when
I do a qmailctl stat /service/qmail-send alternates between 0 and 1 second
up. It seems obvious that send is encountering an error some place but I
can't find it. Any help on where/how I might be able to track down this
problem to resolve it? Like I said I have gone through the section on
start qmail and I did find one error in /service/qmail-smtpd/log and got
that up but this has me. Any suggestions on where to look? THANKS.

Have you been through section 2.9?

Also, try running http://lifewithqmail.org/inst_check.

Hi, Thanks for your reply and sorry I took so long to get back. I've been
away from home so I couldn't get back to this problem until now.

I ran inst_check and all looked good after a fix on one of the scripts.
Left out the #! on the /bin/sh. :-(
I did go through 2.9 here is what I see

/service/qmail-send: up (pid 15971) 0 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 12641) 545 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 12642) 545 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 12647) 545 seconds

With qmail-send up and down every sec with a new pid each time.

After reboot qmail-send
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 829) 121 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 822) 121 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 820) 121 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 821) 121 seconds

# ps -elf | grep "service errors" |grep -v grep ** returns this **

Should be good.....


Even so I went on with ....

using the svc -d .

qmail-smtpd/./run ** returns **
tcpserver: status: 0/20

qmail-smtpd/log/run
Returns no errors

qmail-send/run ** returns **

Then sets the qmail-send back into the up and down mode again.


qmail-pop3d/run ** returns **

qmail-pop3d/log/run
Returns no errors

Is the above unable to stat xxxxx because I have some (10) undelivered

Misc info.
I can telnet into 110 and get past entering user postmaster@my_domain
but get kicked out at entering my pass my_password.

I am using the Maildir and have gone over that as well but I will take a
freash look in the am.

I am stumped to say the least.
Any suggestions on where to go next???

Thanks.
Joe

Have you checked to see if anything else is listening in port 25?
LWQ explains how to do this.
As I recall, I had this problem on my most recent qmail install on debian.
It was because Exim was still installed and had port 25 open. All was ok
after I uninstalled Exim.

nmap shows the port open and I have had opera mail configured to accept
emails to another account. I haven't seen anything specific yet on testing
port 25 in LWQ. I'll keep looking. I know I can telent in on 110 but when
I do 25 I get a connection it seems or at least I am not rejected.....

telnet localhost 25
220 my_domain.net ESMTP

Thanks.

I know I can telent in on 110 but when I do I get licked out after
entering pass my_password.
# telnet localhost 110
Trying 192.168.2.101...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <9104.1059376936@my_domain.net>
user my_login@my_domain.net
+OK
pass my_password
Connection closed by foreign host.


On a port 25 I get a connection it seems or at least I am not rejected
outright

telnet localhost 25
220 my_domain.net ESMTP

Thanks again.
