/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run contains:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
thank you very much for the help mark! i set qmail up according to Sill's
"Life with qmail", and now am wondering about the "-p" option to tcpserver.
i am going to look at these env variables and try to figure out what i've
done wrong, but if it's obvious to you, please let me know. thanks again
for the help!
