Yes, I am using vpopmail, but as I mentioned before, I had it working for a while previously on the same system. The workaround mentioned in the FAQ is what's used in the Qmail Handbook, and it's what I'm doing right now. > How about some more details - such as what OS you are running, versions > and whether or not you have a working suidperl installed/etc. I'm using FreeBSD version 4.9-STABLE, with qmail 1.03, vpopmail 5.2.1, qmail-scanner 1.16, perl 5.6.1, but suidperl doesn't work, and I had to use the suid wrapper written in C that came with qmail-scanner. Also, in response to Stephen, I managed to extract these logs: Dec 2 17:27:13 pop smtpd: 1070414833.088271 tcpserver: status: 2/80 Dec 2 17:27:13 pop smtpd: 1070414833.088692 tcpserver: pid 54087 from 216.109.87.86 Dec 2 17:27:13 pop smtpd: 1070414833.115381 tcpserver: ok 54087 pop.lightspeed.ca:206.12.82.99:25 86.exgon.com:216.109.87.86::47653 Dec 2 17:27:13 pop qmail-send: 1070414833.165975 delivery 4657: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ Dec 2 17:27:13 pop qmail-send: 1070414833.166331 status: local 0/10 remote 119/120 Dec 2 17:27:13 pop qmail-send: 1070414833.189446 starting delivery 4658: msg 4582304 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dec 2 17:27:13 pop qmail-send: 1070414833.189790 status: local 0/10 remote 120/120 Dec 2 17:27:13 pop pop3d: 1070414833.291210 tcpserver: status: 3/30 Dec 2 17:27:13 pop pop3d: 1070414833.291617 tcpserver: pid 54089 from 209.53.208.34 Dec 2 17:27:13 pop pop3d: 1070414833.292167 tcpserver: ok 54089 0:206.12.82.99:110 :209.53.208.34::3866 Dec 2 17:27:13 pop X-Qmail-Scanner-1.16: [pop.lightspeed.ca107041483342654090] pop.lightspeed.ca107041483342654090 exits - try again later...
