Hallo, I have a dialup-connection (ppp) to an ISP. I developed a problem this week after trying out a customized kernel (which I removed again).
The problem is that mail in the queue are not sent automatically when the connection with the ISP is estblished. I tried reconfiguring smail and even reinstalling smail, but without success. I have read the smail manpage without really understanding how to use those options. In the past I never needed them. This message was sent while connected to the ISP. There are still messages in the queue and they are not sent. Can somebody help, please? The following part of my /var/spool/smail/logfile might provide a clue: --------------------------------------------------- 02/20/97 10:09:35: [m0vxTZP-0000XyC] received | from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | host: localhost | protocol: smtp | program: sendmail | orig-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | size: 1602 bytes 02/20/97 10:09:36: [m0vxTZP-0000XyC] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... deferred: (ERR_164) router inet_hosts: BIND server failure: Connection to BIND server failed: Connection refused 02/20/97 10:10:10: [m0vxTZx-0000bWC] received | from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | host: localhost | protocol: smtp | program: sendmail | orig-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | size: 5718 bytes 02/20/97 10:10:10: [m0vxTZx-0000bWC] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... deferred: (ERR_164) router inet_hosts: BIND server failure: Connection to BIND server failed: Connection refused 02/20/97 10:13:07: [m0vxTcp-0000bZC] received | from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | host: localhost | protocol: smtp | program: sendmail | orig-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | size: 643 bytes 02/20/97 10:13:09: [m0vxTcp-0000bZC] delivered | via: alpha.futurenet.co.za | to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | orig-to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | router: inet_hosts | transport: smtp 02/20/97 10:13:09: [m0vxTcp-0000bZC] Completed.
