Thanks. Actually, nothing is in the smtpd logs. They are (and always have been) empty. It's like qmail-smtpd is not logging. I've never figured out why. This is on a stock redhat 7.3 with your latest toaster. Nothing else. Any idea why it fails to log? I have double checked everything and it was built and installed exactly like instructed on your site.
I don't know anything about recordio. Can you tell me exactly where it needs to go (syntax)? (I know just enough about all this to be dangerous but I _can_ follow instructions pretty well.) Recordio is on the machine but there is no man page. I guess that it needs to be told where to put the recorded output but I don't know how to tell it that. I noticed that inter7 says that qmailadmin needs to be updated to 1.0.6 to close some sort of security hole. (I have no real details on the security hole but what I could find seems to say that is not remotely exploitable. No local users on this particular machine.) Is it safe to assume the I can just repeat the qmailadmin portion of the toaster instructions but with the 1.0.6 sources? It appears that way to me. I'm also guessing that doing the install-strip step will wipe out any template changes that I made, right? David Shirley - Diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
