hi all
I'm quite new in the qmail mta and my question may be stupid or something
for what I excuse, but here my problem is:
I've just installed the qmail package on my linux (2.2.16) slackware 7.1
exactly following the instructions in the INSTALL file but the qmail-smtpd
daemon is not executing correctly. Here are the details:
#############################
that's my inetd.conf file ->
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env \
tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
#############################
that's the test command ->
HomePC-bangieff@Bangieff:~$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
#############################
thet message appears in the syslog file
Jul 15 00:54:24 Bangieff in.identd[1038]: reply to 127.0.0.1: 1061 , 25 :
USERID : UNIX :bangieff
Jul 15 00:54:24 Bangieff inetd[84]: pid 1037: exit status 111
anyone can tell me what's wrong?
thans in advance

leave out the (second) "tcp-env" argument.
You might also want to consider using tcpserver instead of inetd.
tcpserver is far more reliable.
Regards, Uwe
Martin,
You are probably going to need xinetd or tcpserver in the near future
(qmail expects it's port to be protected against relaying by something
else and inetd won't do that) since I use xinet.d here's a working set
of config files for xinetd and tcpwrappers. The qmail file goes in
/etc/xinet.d (which should be available for slackware) and allow is
/etc/hosts.allow for tcpwrappers.

hi,
as it seems I don`t really understand selective relaying. I
configured qmail the way that I thought it only would relay for my
localhost, but it also relays for the pcs on the local net.
Here my config files:
I use tcpserver to listen for smtp:
tcp.smtp (before hashing it):
-----
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.0.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" #the local IP
:allow
------
rcpthosts:
------
hugenay #which is my local pc name
localhost
------
smtproutes:
------
:192.168.0.6
:mailto.btx.dtag.de #which is the smtpserver of my provider,
#that I user for relaying.
So I thought, when a host connects to the smtp port, tcpserver will
allow all, but only set RELAYCLIENT for the mentioned IPs, so
rcpthosts will take effect. Is it the smtproutes files ?
Any Ideas?

You forgot to mention (and describe precise) your problem.

hi all
I've installed qmail package on my Linux Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman)
2.2.12-20 on an i586 - a year ago.
Everything works fine - I get mail from outside - except of 2 known
addresses.
When they try to send a message to me they get an error from their SMTP
server :
from the first sender :

I used the tcpdump and saw that a connection did established but no data was

anyone can tell me what's wrong?
thanks in advance.

These are no qmail messages.
Anyway, even if it were qmail: it really looks like network errors.

With every email I'm getting this error in my logs. I have never seen this
before so I'm sure I missed something.
delivery 10: deferral: Unable_to_find_alias_user!/
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks
