Hi, I'm a newbie to the list, and to mail servers in general. I've followed directions at www.shupp.org/toaster in the past and got everything working before. I recently started renting a box at a hosting facility they had qmail installed but was missing many patches and commands I was used to (daemontools, squirrelmail, vpopmain, qmailctl etc...) so I decided to reinstall from scratch. I worked though the night and got everything to compile etc... (the toaster seems to assume somethings were installed that weren't. ) The next day when looked I had some interesting problems. qmailctl stat (after shutting down and restarting ) /service/qmail-send: up (pid 4576) 19 seconds /service/qmail-send/log: down 125743 seconds, normally up /service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 14880) 1 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 30339) 640541 seconds messages in queue: 80 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 92
Not sure why so many messages in my queue but not a major problem. or what happened to my qmail-send log when I run inst_check (http://lifewithqmail.org/inst_check) however I get ! /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb is missing ...try: /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl cdb when I try /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl cdb it *says* Updated tcp.smtp.cdb but the only file called tcp.smtp.cdb I can find is in /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb so I'm thinking I messed up these lines from the toaster echo '127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' > ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp (cd ~vpopmail/etc ; tcprules tcp.smtp.cdb tcp.smtp.tmp < tcp.smtp) Typing them now doesn't seem to do anything. and rerunning inst_check gives me the same error Typing # ps -efl | grep "service errors" | grep -v grep get me back 0 S root 26722 26624 0 69 0 - 319 152ecc Mar06 ? 00:00:00 readproctitle service errors: ...mail: No such user?id: vpopmail: No such user?id: vpopmail: No such user?id: vpopmail: No such user?id: vpopmail: No such user?id: vpopmail: No such user?id: vpopmail: No such user?id: vpopmail: No such user? So I check /etc/pass and /etc/group but they seem okay. (I can su - into vpopmail and the vchpw group seems to be okay. ) So I check my logs at /var/log/qmail/smtp check current. tail -f current and I get @400000004235bfe2090afeac tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used @400000004235bfe30acb2d0c tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used @400000004235bfe40caccdec tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used So now I'm thinking something is wrong with tcpsever I turn off qmail (qmailctl stop) then killall TERM tcpserver I get new ps #s but tcpserver is still running and when I start qmail again I get the same errors. Sorry if this is too much infomation (or too little), like I said I'm new to the list but would *really* like to be done with this soon. If you have any suggestions please share. Oh yeah I'm running on RedHat Linux. 9 -- Carl Parrish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PCL Enterprises
