hello,
I installed qmail according to LWQ . LWQ says,
To use tcpserver, add the following to your qmail startup script (not
inetd.conf):
tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup FQDN \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
where pop3 is the name of the POP3 service listed in /etc/services and FQDN
is the fully qualified domain name of the POP server you're setting up,
e.g., pop.example.net
So I added it to my /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail file that I created
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
# This line will add POP3d to our installation
tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
mailperson2.cardinalservices.com
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
case "$1" in

And this is the output of ps waux | grep qmail right after bootup. (edited

When I attempt to stop qmail by using /usr/local/sbin/qmail stop
It tells me
Stopping qmail: svscan qmail logging.
[root@**]# ps waux | grep qmail (edited for space)

My question is: Am I stopping qmail properly or does my startup script
contain errors? Thanks to everyones help I have gotten qmail running on my
test machine and I will begin installing it on our "real" mail server soon.
I can't figure out why these processes will not go away.
any help is appreciated,
tony.campisi
