Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this list, so please forgive me if this has been asked before
or is really dumb.
I'm running RH7.0 and I would like to run qmail. I thought I had it
working once, but I was just calling tcpd from xinetd and that seemed a
little foolish. I have been messing around with xinetd all day and my
progress has been -42. Qmail accepts messages, but then they just sort of
disappear. I think it all stems from a problem with my xinetd
configuration. I have searched the internet and everything I find is
different from everything else. I am looking for the 'definitive' thing to
use with xinetd. Hopefully, it should have logging and not use anything
toooo complex (and allow relaying from my lan).
I would also really appreciate it if someone would tell me why so many
people use tcpserver instead of xinetd. I understand that tcpserver can be
run continually, but xinetd only starts smtpd (or whatever) when someone
connects to port 25. I am going to be running a very very (did I mention
very) low-volume mail server.
PLEASE someone, just tell me what to do. Thanks very much in advance.
Maybe now I can put down my virtual water gun. Thanks.
Despairing Jeff
