21728 ? S 0:00 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd mail2.smartsite.net /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true there are about 20 of these processes. the var/log/qmail/smtpd/current file loks like: @400000003fe135d52844b54c tcpserver: pid 22727 from 66.218.86.99 @400000003fe135d5284a5e84 tcpserver: ok 22727 0:64.186.170.70:25 :66.218.86.99::41417 @400000003fe135d534ca88b4 tcpserver: end 22727 status 0 @400000003fe135d534caafc4 tcpserver: status: 19/20 @400000003fe135d534ccc304 tcpserver: status: 20/20 @400000003fe135d534da4024 tcpserver: pid 22729 from 131.202.3.20 @400000003fe135d534de85e4 tcpserver: ok 22729 0:64.186.170.70:25 :131.202.3.20::33911 a small number of messages to seem to be getting out, but basically none of my users can send. any and all help appreciated. amd --- andy drexler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bill - > > 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 log > file. > > i'm not sure what this means. > > amd > > --- Bill Shupp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > andy drexler wrote: > > > 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.
