Re: qmail doesn't start properly

[Anonymous]

I hate to ask, but did you hit RETURN after `\' in 

tcpserver -v -u 503 -g 502 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &

or just copied the entry from the FAQ?

If you did then:

Is qmail.init executable by all?  What is the output of 

ps auxww |grep qmail


after bootup?  What do the logs say?  Which service(s) does not start?   

What Linux distr are you using?  Is it sysV (like RedHat)?
