At some point this afternoon, my qmail toaster stopped
accepting incoming connections for outgoing mail. Mail
is coming into the server and being delivered
normally, but when any user tries to send, it can't
seem to connect. I went in through sqwebmail, and was
able to send messages from there, but

Thanks for the quick reply.
qmailctl stat indicates that qmail-smtpd is up, and
has been running as long as the other listed
processes.
the log file is .. empty - as are all of the 'older'
ones listed in the directory. the pop3d logs are there
and growing, as is the regular qmail/current
I searched the mail archive and found out why the log
file was empty. I added the -v to the smtpd/run script
and the log is now growing. On the server, there are a
bunch of running smtpd processes:
21728 ?S 0:00 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
mail2.smartsite.net /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw

Thanks for the reply.
I followed your advice below and it doesn't seem to
have made a difference.
I did a
netstat -n -p TCP
and it shows a couple of hundred active connections,
with 130 or so being the SYN_RECV state. Could this be
some sort of DOS attack?
Thanks again for your help.
